Description: The WTC Health Registry is an epidemiological cohort study created as a public health response to 9/11. The Registy includes a confidential baseline health survey in 2003 or 2004. The Registry completed a follow-up survey of adults in 2007 and children in 2008. In 2011, it launched its third survey for adults, adolescents and parents of adolescents. Each participant answered a series of questions about where they were on 9/11, their experiences on that day, and their health status. The survey was voluntary for people who lived, worked or went to school in the area of the WTC disaster, or were involved in rescue and recovery efforts.
