First Responders HELPING
First Responders

First Responders are expected to maintain high-performance levels under extreme conditions. However, constant intense workplace stress, physical work demands, and irregular shift hours are taking a severe toll on frontline workers.

These demands often lead to physical and mental health problems, poor job performance, and lifestyle issues.

Our Goal

First Responder Stress & Trauma (F1RST) and Endominance are launching this study to examine the physiological, psychological, and cognitive impacts workplace stress and irregular shift hours have on first responders and to better understand the most prominent challenges first responders face when trying to manage their own physical and mental health.

Full-time, actively employed first responders of any level of experience or rank, including:

  • Firefighters
  • Law Enforcement
  • Paramedic/EMT

Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

  • All information collected is confidential and anonymous
  • There is no cost to participate in this study
  • Your participation will last approximately 70 minutes

About the Study

Endominance hopes to identify possible solutions and interventions at the individual, clinical, and departmental levels to help first responders better mitigate their stress and improve their quality of life. To carry out these objectives, we will be focusing on the following areas:

  • The impact of shift hours (especially longer shift hours, e.g., firefighters 24 vs. 48 shift hours) on humans, specifically in connection to sleep disorders and other cognitive function-related issues.
  • The connection between workplace incidents and stress/alertness levels – even during off-duty hours.
  • First responder self-help/stress relief coping techniques or modalities and their efficacy.
