Official title

Randomized Trial of a Sleep Disorders Program on Firefighter Safety and Disability

Overview

The investigators have shown that sleep health education and sleep disorders screening improve health and safety of employees. There is potential to increase the benefits of the sleep health education and screening program if more firefighters are evaluated, diagnosed and referred for treatment. Investigators will evaluate whether firefighters in stations randomized to participate in the Sleep Health and Education Program (SHEP) intervention will have improved health and safety outcomes as compared to firefighters in stations randomized to the control condition.

Interventions

  • Behavioral Sleep Health Education Program (SHEP)
    Sleep Health Education Program (SHEP) including screening for common sleep disorders

Primary outcome measures

  • Evaluation of sleep disorder [Time frame: 12 months (on end-of-year questionnaire)]
  • Diagnosis of sleep disorder [Time frame: 12 months (on end-of-year questionnaire)]
  • Treatment of sleep disorder [Time frame: 12 months (on end-of-year questionnaire)]
  • Injuries [Time frame: Over 12 months (The number of injuries as documented in the fire department database)]
  • Disability days [Time frame: Over 12 months (The number of injuries as documented in the fire department database)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • Motor vehicle crashes [Time frame: Over 12 months, reported on monthly surveys]
  • Near crashes [Time frame: Over 12 months, reported on monthly surveys]
