Hello:
I am asking for as many past and present EMS personnel as possible to take a few minutes to respond to this. This is for a research paper regarding assaults on EMS, and introducing self defense as part of the training. The training could include training in de-escalating situations, as well as physical self defense.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact [Name of Survey Researcher] at [Phone Number] or by email at the email address specified below.
