The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is looking for paid volunteers to participate in a research study focused on sleep health and drowsy driving among workers who drive for a living.
Who
Taxi or rideshare drivers serving San Francisco are invited to participate in a survey.
What
The survey asks about work, health, and habits. Some participants may take a short training and quiz. All will wear a Fitbit and complete a sleep diary.
Why
Drivers who transport passengers have an admirable work ethic. Reducing fatigue can make that work ethic a safe one.
Multiple steps will be taken to protect privacy. Final study results will not identify individual drivers.
Participants will receive ~$200 for all data collection periods.
To participate, please contact
Cammie Chaumont Menendez,
fxf8@cdc.gov or (304) 285-6233.
Taxi driver supporters include Flywheel and the San Francisco MTA.
