Phone calls or brochures: which better prepares 9/11 survivors for disasters?
NCT ID NCT06737510
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to help people exposed to the 9/11 attacks get ready for emergencies: a phone-based coaching session versus a mailed informational brochure. About 700 adults in New York City who are part of the World Trade Center Health Registry will take part. Researchers will measure how many emergency supplies and communication plans participants have after the intervention.
