Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9-11), terrorism poses a continuous threat to those living in the United States. A substantial number of people may have experienced behavioral and life changes since the attacks, with possible implications for public health. This study investigated behavioral and life changes American people have experienced since the attacks. Using random-digit dialing that included unpublished numbers and new listings, a nationally representative cross-sectional sample of 807 U.S. adults ages 18 or older was interviewed. Logistic regression analyses indicated that gender, age, race/ethnicity, and employment status were significant predictors for experiencing different outcome variables. The qualitative data obtained from an open-ended question regarding life changes were analyzed and synthesized. The 9-11 events have considerably affected Americans' lifestyles and behavior, which may have various implications for public health policy makers and educators.
自2001年9月11日恐怖袭击事件（9·11事件）以来，恐怖主义对生活在美国的人们构成了持续威胁。自袭击事件发生以来，相当多的人可能经历了行为和生活上的变化，这可能对公共卫生产生影响。本研究调查了自袭击事件以来美国民众所经历的行为和生活变化。通过使用包含未公布号码和新列表的随机数字拨号法，对807名年龄在18岁及以上的具有全国代表性的美国成年人进行了横断面抽样访谈。逻辑回归分析表明，性别、年龄、种族/族裔和就业状况是经历不同结果变量的重要预测因素。对从一个关于生活变化的开放式问题中获得的定性数据进行了分析和综合。9·11事件对美国人的生活方式和行为产生了相当大的影响，这可能对公共卫生政策制定者和教育工作者具有各种启示。
