Researchers use this system in order to find correlations between 9/11 and health disorders as well as to collect data about those who were exposed during 9/11.
The system relies on relationships with scientific institutions, government institutions, and educational institutions.
The system was built to serve the general public. This system was not only set up for the public use though, it is also used and produced by researchers. The researchers track the long term health effects 9/11 has had on those exposed.
The functions are technically supported by by a public relations department.
The website doesn't translate or post any data. Participants do not enter the information into the website, if they need to update or provide information it must be given directly to the registry staff.
The data is mainly visualized in a report form.
This system would have been difficult to use for the immediate affects of 9/11 because for many victims their symptoms didn't develop immediately after the attacks.
This system offers data on long term and short term health disorders of those exposed to 9/11.
Participants are subjected to a 30 minute in person or telephone in regards to their mental and physical health.
This system is funded by federal tax dollars.
