Episode 81: Firefighter Research with Sara Jahnke, Ph.D.

The FRW Swag Store is open just in time for the holidays. Check it out here!

This week's episode was a pure delight to record. Sara Jahnke is moving the needle in big ways within the firefighter research community. We found out that we are kindred spirits in both the love of research and good hugs.

Dr. Sara Jahnke is the Director and a Senior Scientist with the Center for Fire, Rescue & EMS Health Research within NDRI-USA, Inc. With over a decade of research experience on firefighters, she has been the Principal Investigator on several national studies as well as dozens of studies as a co-investigator.  Her work has focused on a range of health concerns including the health of women firefighters, behavioral health, risk of injury, cancer, cardiovascular risk factors, and substance use with funding from FEMA, the National Institutes of Health and other foundations.

So what, now what?

Sara is optimistic that although we have a long way to go with firefighter research, we've come SO FAR! Get involved with consuming or conducting research. It matters!
