Long-Term Health Consequences of 9/11: The World Trade Center Disaster 25 Years Later

Dear Colleagues, 

As the 25th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 World Trade Center attacks approaches, this Special Issue will highlight the current health status of World Trade Center-exposed individuals and document lessons learned from the disaster. The World Trade Center disaster of 9/11/01 resulted in acute and chronic health conditions that have continued to evolve over the last 25 years. Published findings from ongoing research and public health surveillance have documented a wide range of physical and mental health impacts on the populations exposed. In addition to addressing the long-term health effects and lessons learned from 25 years of post-disaster research, this Special Issue will include manuscripts addressing potential intervention strategies and the use of innovative research methods. We welcome both research papers and review articles. 

Manuscripts may be submitted by researchers in the following disciplines: medicine, psychology, public health, social work, nursing, and emergency preparedness.
