This research investigated the prevalence of @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ), @entity308 ( @entity308 ) and @entity734 in a midwestern university population following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in New York City and Washington, DC. Three-hundred five subjects volunteered to complete a questionnaire which measured nine areas of psychosocial functioning which included demographics, personality, @entity1005 , @entity308 , prior traumatic experiences, @entity167 and drug use, @entity146 history and treatment, and current attitudes towards government, religion, the economy, and how @entity1 were affected by the events. The @entity1 lived in a large urban city over which United Flight 93 circled before crashing in Pennsylvania due to terrorist attacks. The subjects were forced to evacuate their university and city due to attacks on New York and errant United Flight 93. The study also replicated the first two national studies on @entity1005 prevalence (Schuster, et al., 2002; Galea, et al., 2002). The results found a prevalence rate of 5.9% for probable @entity1005 , matching identically previous national surveys. There were higher levels of @entity1005 and @entity308 for females, those with less education and who were single or unmarried, and those who had a prior history of mental health problems or psychological @entity130 . @entity1005 and @entity308 were associated with higher levels of @entity167 and drug use since September 11. Relations to active duty military personnel appear to moderate the perception of threat, suggesting the importance of affiliative kinship patterns to coping with stress. Finally, the concept of geographic and psychological proximity to the 'zone of danger' is discussed.
