Health and Wellness of Women Firefighters

With this study, we sought to collect data on how firefighting impacts women. We employed a longitudinal cohort study of critical issues as well as a chemical analysis of breastmilk. The information from this research provided an empirical foundation for decisions by both firefighters and management on appropriate measures to protect the health of current and future female firefighters.
