CASE STUDY AMENDMENT: IMPACT OF 9/11 ON PWH/As TAKING HAART
The September 11th terrorist attacks in NYC and Washington DC were the deadliest to have occurred on US soil, a catastrophe of unparalleled magnitude. The attacks induced heightened fear and anxiety throughout the country, but especially in cities that sustained direct attacks. While the financial, bereavement and mental health needs of those directly in the attacks are being addressed, attention is also needed to monitor the mental health, economic and social consequences suffered by those who did not directly experience loss or participate in the rescue and recovery efforts. The purpose of this study is to explore how the September 11th attacks and their aftermath (e.g., military strikes, threats of anthrax or other bio-terrorism, etc.) may have affected the lives and adherence experience of people living with HIV/AIDS who are participating in the CASE/HRSA SPNS cross-site evaluation of interventions promoting adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
