Improving our knowledge of the mental health and wellbeing of firefighters
This study aims to:
Identify the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and alcohol use in the sample
Understand whether individual, operational and/or organisational factors contribute to worse mental health outcomes more than exposure to potentially traumatic events and which contribute to better mental health
Identify whether there are subgroups of firefighters who are more or less impacted by the work
