There doesn’t seem to be much coverage for the program, and it is pretty obscure outside of academia. 

The book from which this excerpt is a part of has been used and referenced in classes outside of Virginia Tech including MIT and Johns Hopkins.

The author likely read through the referenced articles to find where they could be appropriately cited, and then conducted first hand interviews with select people (as mentioned in the notes) to put the information into context. Together, the multiple forms of media allow for a well-rounded point of view in writing the article, with various angles being well-represented throughout. 

Data for this article was gathered through studies conducted with the PIH in the United States, Haiti, and Africa as well as researching other publications.

The ARC conducts research continuously to provide quality support in the context of CPR, disaster response, and blood collection.

The policy establishes the World Trade Center Health Program within the Department of Health and Human Services. It provides “medical monitoring and treatment benefits to eligible emergency responders and recovery and cleanup workers… who responded to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and… initial health evaluation, monitoring, and treatment benefits to residents and other building occupants and area workers in New York City who were directly impacted and adversely affected by such attacks”

The program also establishes measures to prevent Fraud and a Quality Assurance program was also implemented. This includes measures to assure adherence to protocol, appropriate referrals, prompt communication of results to patients, and any other elements the program administrator deems necessary, with consultation from other sources.
