Study to Collect Data for Monitoring Health of Female Fire Fighters
The IAFF is assisting the Center for Fire, Rescue & EMS Health Research in its efforts to collect data from as many female fire fighters in the country as possible.
While there is are considerable advances in information related to fire fighter health, most are focused exclusively on male fire fighters. This project will collect data specific to the health, perceptions and experiences of women in the career fire service.

Funded by the National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute at National Institutes of Health, the findings will be used to help monitor the health of female fire fighters and identify areas of need for future research.
The IAFF encourages you to forward this email to any female career fire fighters. Participation in the study is completely voluntary.
For more information, contact the project lead, Dr. Sara Jahnke, at Jahnke@ndri.org or (913) 681-0300.
