Police officers, firefighters, and other first responders encounter stress, shift work, and long hours as part of their job. The Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress (BCOPS) study is a long-term study that looks at the health effects linked to these job-related factors, including outcomes like hypertension, cardiac system dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease. The recorded webinar provides an update on the BCOPS study. It’s intended audience is first responders concerned about the impact of shift work and job stress on their cardiovascular health and who wish to learn about ways to promote health at their workplace.
