Twin Tower Survey Update
There is a survey about the Tower disaster affecting us still.
Were you in NY during 9/11/01? And did you participate in this survey? If so they are updating their information. I didn't even know about this being out there. I am sending it to the people who might know others affected by the disaster. Only the persons who had previously participated can do so now. So you might want to pass this along to people you know who might have been affected from the different states that were there when the planes struck the towers and were in the city during that time period.I included the survey. It does not deal with the human issue so it is very cut and dry of what the people and buildings went through. LI
- - - Did you know there is a there is a World Trade Center Health Registry Follow-Up Survey for Adults. More than 25,000 World Trade Center Health Registry enrollees have completed their follow-up survey. It's not too late to complete yours!
If you have already completed your follow-up survey, thank you! If you have not yet completed your survey, please take a few minutes to complete it. Your answers are very important in helping us all to better understand the long-term health effects of 9/11.

WTC Health Registry 2006-07 Follow-up Survey
If you’re among the approximately 70,000 World Trade Center Health Registry (WTCHR) adult enrollees, then you should have received your follow-up survey by mail or email.
Parents and guardians of enrollees under 18 years of age, watch your mailboxes! A pediatric survey will be mailed to you in April 2007.
These surveys will be the first opportunity for enrollees to inform the Registry about their physical and mental health since they completed their initial interview in 2003 or 2004.
Q&A: I am not enrolled in the WTC Health Registry, but I would like to enroll and complete the follow-up survey. How do I do enroll?
The follow-up survey is being sent only to those individuals who enrolled in the Registry by completing a 30-minute telephone interview in 2003/2004. At this time, enrollment in the Registry is now closed.
Findings from the WTC Health Registry will be valuable not only to the enrollees but also to others who were directly affected by 9/11.
Data and results from the Registry are available at http://www.wtcregistry.org.
