NYU/Bellevue Red Cross WTC Health Impacts Research Registry
The American Red Cross has funded a multidisciplinary, comprehensive evaluation and treatment
program for target individuals with suspected World Trade Center (WTC)-related health
problems. The populations served consist predominantly of a) local residents who were
impacted by the disperion of the WTC dusts and fumes, b) individuals involved in cleaning and
debris removal of local commercial spaces, and c) responders to the WTC collapse. These
populations are recruited from past and ongoing programs that we have developed as well as
from ongoing collaborations with community organizations that include: the Beyond Ground Zero
Network, 9/11 Environmental Action committee, and the WTC Residents Coalition. In addition,
there is collaboration with the Charles B. Wang Community Health Center and the centers
involved in the ongoing WTC Workers and Volunteer Medical Screening and Monitoring Program.
We would now like to access the data from this treatment program to create a NYU/Bellevue WTC
Health Impacts Research Registry to increase knowledge about the health effects of exposure
to World Trade Center dust.

Target populations who will participate in the Bellevue Hospital Red Cross WTC Health
Impacts Program will include:
- residents (children and adults) of Lower Manhattan communities at the time of the
attacks, who remained or returned to their homes soon after the attacks
- individuals involved in debris removal in surrounding commercial and residential
buildings,
- individuals involved in rescue, recovery and debris removal who have been previously
screened through the World Trade Center Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening Program
and are in need of continued treatment.
