We sought to estimate the extended mental health service capacity requirements of persons affected by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
We developed a formula to estimate the extended mental health service capacity requirements following disaster situations and assessed availability of the information required by the formula.
Sparse data exist on current services and supports used by people with mental health problems outside of the formal mental health specialty sector. There also are few systematically collected data on mental health sequelae of disasters.
We recommend research-based surveys to understand service usage in non-mental health settings and suggest that federal guidelines be established to promote uniform data collection of a core set of items in studies carried out after disasters.
我们试图估算2001年9月11日恐怖袭击事件受害者对心理健康服务的长期需求。
我们制定了一个公式来估算灾难发生后心理健康服务的长期需求,并评估该公式所需信息的可得性。
关于正规心理健康专业部门之外有心理健康问题的人目前所使用的服务和支持的数据稀少。关于灾难心理健康后遗症的系统性收集数据也很少。
我们建议开展基于研究的调查以了解非心理健康环境中的服务使用情况,并建议制定联邦指导方针,以促进在灾难后开展的研究中对一组核心项目进行统一的数据收集。
