TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Implications of the World Trade Center attack for the public health and health care infrastructures JO - American journal of public health A1 - Freudenberg, Nicholas A1 - Klitzman, S. SP - 400 EP - 406 VL - 93 IS - 3 N2 - The September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center had profound effects on the well-being of New York City. The authors describe and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the city's response to the public health, environmental/ occupational health, and mental health dimensions of the attack in the first 6 months after the event. They also examine the impact on the city's health care and social service system. The authors suggest lessons that can inform the development of a post-September 11th agenda for strengthening urban health infrastructures. LA - SN - 0090-0036 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
