Title: Stress and Subclinical Cardio-Metabolic Disease in Police: A Longitudinal Study

Principal Investigator: John Violanti, PhD

Funding Agency: National Institute Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

Period: 09/01/10 - 08/31/15

Abstract: Police work is one of the most stressful jobs in society, but little is known about the effects of this stress on an officer’s long-term health. The research will study how job stress affects officers over time and will provide information about specific causes of stress on police. The findings will be used to develop prevention programs for officers.
