Abstract

The terrorist attacks in the US on September 11, 2001 stimulated an unprecedented rapid response by the social and health research communities into the aftermath. This article summarizes the findings of the major studies that assessed various types of "psychological distress," and identifies some of the important gaps that remain in our understanding of the nature and etiology of human distress following purposeful, unpredictable mass violence.
