How is the WTC Health Registry different from other studies?
The WTC Health Registry is unique in several important ways. It includes many more people than other studies, so it will provide a more complete picture of the long-term health effects of 9/11/01. Additionally, other studies being conducted focus on specific groups, such as recovery workers or pregnant women. These studies are mainly one-time interviews or health evaluations and will not follow people over a 20-year period.
