<p>List of assessment instruments.</p>

A 2026 study by Yael M. Cycowicz examines the intergenerational transmission of trauma among adult offspring of World Trade Center responders more than two decades after the 9/11 attacks. Parents and offspring completed standardized assessments of mental health, social support, family relationships, and quality of life. The dataset, shared on figshare, contains the list of assessment instruments used in this research.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between parental trauma exposure and offspring mental health outcomes based on survey data.
• Investigating the moderating role of occupational subgroup on trauma transmission based on responder category.
• Studying the relationship between family relational functioning and offspring psychopathology based on relationship measures.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Focuses on a unique, long-term cohort of World Trade Center responders and their adult offspring.
• Description details specific mental health constructs measured, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, suggesting limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
