    Jeff, I heard about the registry, too. I found it interesting that it is meant for people who lived, worked, or was south of Canal Street on 9/11. I was in my dorm at 14th St. Does this mean that I probably won’t suffer any health problems as a result of the polluted air? Or am I just simply outside the survey line?

    I hope they do a good job of reaching out to survey people whose *mental* health was affected, because a lot of people will still only think of physical maladies.

    Reading their site, they just want people who were in the neighborhood of the WTC on or after 9.11. Personally, I absolutely do not think that is the only danger zone.
    They say they will ask questions about mental health but it looks as if their focus is physical; can’t tell what they’re going to track because the first round of questions are general.
