Although there have been many studies examining the traumatic effects of 9/11, there has been limited focus on the impact of bereavement on those affected by the tragedy.

The goal of this study is to examine the combined effects of bereavement and trauma on the health-related quality of life among 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) Health Registry Survivor Enrollees.
