• Description:
  The study followed physical and mental health trajectories of 452 responders for three years. It revealed that several personality traits (e.g., depressivity, low positive emotionality, self-discipline, and straightforwardness) are significant contributors to mental and physical disorders in WTC responders. Importantly, efficacious treatments exist for elevations on these traits. We observed that WTC responders with trait vulnerabilities find the aforementioned personality-informed interventions acceptable and nearly all of them are willing to participate in such a treatment. The implication of our findings is that provision of personality-informed treatments that target elevated trait vulnerabilities is very likely to reduce the burden of WTC-related disorders. It is also likely that this treatment strategy would be effective in other populations with chronic conditions, such as depression, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic pain, and cancer. This conclusion requires confirmation in randomized clinical trials. [Description provided by NIOSH]
