abstract="We examined the general health and psychological symptoms among survivors of the 1996 Garuda Indonesia air disaster in Japan. We conducted a prospective study 6 months and 1 year (Study 1) after the disaster. A retrospective follow-up study was performed ten years after the disaster (Study 2). The mean score on the 28-Item General Health Questionnaire was 6.5 (SD=6.9) 1 year after the disaster. Those who witnessed the death of an acquaintance in the disaster were classified into the high risk group. In Study 2, more than one-third of respondents complained of a flying phobia. These findings indicate that the psychological burdens of air disasters may last as long as 10 years.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
