CURRENT AND FORMER PARAMEDICS NEEDED FOR DISSERTATION STUDY I am a PhD student working on my dissertation. My dissertation is working with Paramedics. I have worked extensively with first responders for 17 years. You are welcome to go to my website and read more about my EMS experience at: www.bevpaschaltherapy.com . I am looking for Paramedics, both Currently Licensed and working in EMS and Former Paramedics who are no longer working in EMS, Fire or Trauma. My dissertation is based on determining some of the personality traits of Current and Former Paramedics. All participants must be currently or formerly employed in the United States. Unfortunately I cannot use any EMT-I’s or EMT-2’s. If you or any of your family members have ever received mental health treatment from me, I am not able to include you in the study. However, please think of any of your current or past peers that do qualify. What will be required of you is to contact me via email at: bpaschal@waldenu.edu and state in the subject line if you are a Current or Former Paramedic. You will then be sent an email that issues you a personal number and password, as well as a link to get started. All participants are given a number and password to keep everything confidential. You will be asked to fill out two (2) questionnaires and a multiple choice assessment. All are done on your computer. All information is kept confidential and not known by any agencies or employers. The researcher will know the names of the participants only in order to assign passwords and passcodes. I would like to thank you ahead of time for your willingness to participate and help me with this study. I believe the results will help the EMS field significantly. If you wish to read more about me and find out who you will be working with, you can go to my website and read my credentials and my experience in EMS. Respectfully, Beverly J.Paschal, MA, MFT (775) 827-0404 bpaschal@waldenu.edu
