We compared reports of increased substance use in Manhattan 1 and 6 months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Data from 2 random-digit-dial surveys conducted 1 and 6 months after September 11 showed that 30.8% and 27.3% of respondents, respectively, reported increased use of cigarettes, alcohol, or marijuana. These sustained increases in substance use following the September 11 terrorist attacks suggest potential long-term health consequences as a result of disasters.
我们比较了2001年9月11日恐怖袭击事件后1个月和6个月时曼哈顿地区药物使用增加情况的报告。9月11日后1个月和6个月进行的两项随机数字拨号调查数据显示,分别有30.8%和27.3%的受访者报告称香烟、酒精或大麻的使用量增加。9月11日恐怖袭击事件后药物使用的持续增加表明灾难可能会带来长期健康后果。
