摘要
The study describes New York area social workers' experiences of nine different stressors on 9/11. It also examines their reports of working with clients within the 6 months after 9/11. These variables are then analyzed for their relationship with symptomology 6 months after 9/11. Proximity to the WTC on 9/11, knowing someone who was a primary victim, and talking with clients about events related to 9/11 were all related to symptom levels; however, these experiences differentially impacted levels of depressive, anxiety, and somatic symptoms. Sex and race differences were found among the variables.
