The purpose of this project is to conduct research to provide a detailed description of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses incurred by emergency medical services (EMS) workers. This project will use two related data sources. The first source is data abstracted from medical records of EMS workers treated in a nationally stratified sample of emergency departments (ED). These data are routinely collected by the occupational supplement to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS-Work). The second data source, for which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is seeking OMB approval, involves data collected from telephone interview surveys of injured EMS workers identified within NEISS-Work. This project is a collaborative effort between the Division of Safety Research (DSR) in the NIOSH and the Office of Emergency Medical Services in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will also contribute to this project as they are responsible for coordinating the collection of all NEISS-Work data and for overseeing the collection of all telephone interview data. Based on previous examination of the data, we estimate that we will capture approximately 350 unweighted EMS cases per year in the NEISS-Work data. We estimate that we will complete 175 telephone interviews per year based on current response rate to NEISS telephone interviews and a positive response to the questionnaire pilot testing. We anticipate collecting four years of data, allowing us to produce weighted, national estimates describing injuries and illnesses to EMS workers. Using the routine NEISS-Work data, an analysis of all identified EMS workers will be performed to determine if there are any differences between the telephone interview respondent and non-respondent groups.
