[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS aR0xZk67. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We conducted a population-based telephone survey in an attempt to determine correlates of formal and informal help seeking after September 11,2001. Methods : Between October 15 and December 31,2001,1774 Connecticut Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System respondents were asked questions directly related to their experiences of September 11. Results : Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that receipt of formal help was predicted by sleep problems, close association with a victim, reports of increased smoking or drinking, and receipt of informal help. Age, gender, reports of 1 or more problems, and formal help seeking predicted receipt of informal help. Conclusions : Public health planning and bioterrorism preparedness should include programs addressing increased smoking and drinking, sleep problems, and bereavement in the wake of disasters.
