A groundbreaking study on fallout of the 2006 shooting at Dawson College in Montreal reveals that nearly one-third of students and staff suffered from psychological trauma in the years after the event.

The study, released Thursday in Montreal, said 30 per cent of people surveyed suffered post-traumatic stress disorder, a major depression, alcohol dependence or a social phobia as a direct result of what they experienced.

The rate is two to three times higher than the general population, said Warren Steiner, a member of the research team.

I am not surprised by these results except that I am surprised that the numbers are not higher. Its good to see their trauma recognized and some validity given to the suffering of others who have survived similar shootings
