Description: 

This is the first-ever report detailing the mental health problems and needs of particularly vulnerable groups: the survivors of Asian Americans killed on September 11th and the people of nearby Chinatown who were traumatized by the tragedy. The study, based on interviews and focus groups with victims' families and Chinatown community members, explores the level of their emotional distress, the nature of services made available to them to address mental health problems stemming from the tragedy, and the use of those services by the community.
