Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental (Early Education)

Firefighters in station randomized to the experimental (early education) will receive the sleep health education program (SHEP) including screening for common sleep disorders. Those found at high risk will be given information about seeking further evaluation, diagnosis and treatment, if necessary.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

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

Control (Later education)

Firefighters in station randomized to the control condition will not receive SHEP prior to the data collection.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
