Participate in Firefighter Weight Management Survey

January 14, 2013

Participants can earn a $30 gift card

Take part in a new study regarding the role of the Internet and mobile tools in firefighter health and wellness. Firefighters age 18 and older who have used the Internet or a phone/tablet app for weight management or to find weight loss information can take part in this study and earn a $30 gift card. Participants will need to provide identification showing their firefighter status and complete two surveys via email, one 20-minute initial survey and a 15-minute follow up survey. Dr. Gerald Jerome from Towson University in Maryland is examining how firefighters select and use Internet and smartphone applications for weight management.

All responses are confidential and individual study results WILL NOT be shared with associations, local governments, or individual companies. This pilot study is limited to the first 120 respondents. To find out more or sign up, email paphl@towson.edu with “FF survey” in the subject line.
