The article describes the author's experiences with disaster research in the post-9/11 period, first in application of prior research findings to the new situation and later in consultation on the design and development of new research specific to 9/11. The article begins by reviewing the important role of the science of disaster mental health, which was reinforced by the many requests for information from prior research for application to the post-9/11 situation. Next, the article summarizes enduring principles of disaster research application that apply across disaster sites, including 9/11. Addressing unique aspects of the post-9/11 setting, novel considerations for the disaster mental health field are introduced with a new model for conceptualization of subpopulations based on exposure level. Experience in developing research in the post-9/11 setting encountered a number of issues, suggesting need for new policy recommendations that may facilitate research in future disaster settings.
本文描述了作者在9·11事件后的灾难研究经历，先是将先前的研究成果应用于新情况，后来又参与了针对9·11事件的新研究的设计与开发咨询。文章开篇回顾了灾难心理健康科学的重要作用，先前研究中众多信息应用请求强化了这一作用，这些请求旨在将研究成果应用于9·11事件后的情况。接下来，文章总结了适用于包括9·11事件在内的各个灾难现场的灾难研究应用的持久原则。针对9·11事件后环境的独特方面，引入了灾难心理健康领域的新考虑因素，即基于暴露水平对亚人群进行概念化的新模型。在9·11事件后环境中开展研究的经历遇到了一些问题，这表明需要新的政策建议，以促进未来灾难环境中的研究。
