Introduction

 
Dear female transportation workers:

We are conducting a study on women’s health issues. We are asking all female workers to take this survey.

Your health is important! The demands placed on your body while working and balancing home life can have serious health consequences. One of these demands is shift work. However, very little research has been done to understand how shift work specifically affects women’s health.

The National Center for Intermodal Transportation at the University of Denver is conducting a study to assess women’s health issues for transportation workers. Your participation is needed to provide researchers and policy makers with information to better understand the relationship between shift work and health effects on women. That is the first step in addressing these health concerns.

Please help us better understand these issues by completing this survey that will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Your participation in the study is completely confidential. If you are a female transit worker, you qualify to fill out the survey.
