Announcing the launch of the Canadian Study of Violence Against Paramedics (CSVAP)!
(Le message en français suit ci-dessous.)

The Paramedic Chiefs of Canada (PCC) and the Paramedic Association of Canada (PAC) are pleased to announce the launch of the Canadian Study of Violence Against Paramedics (CSVAP), The study is possible due to the financial support of the Canadian Safety & Security Program / Defence Research & Development Canada (CSSP-DRDC).

The purpose of the study is to collect the data necessary to fill the present gap in knowledge about violence against paramedics in Canada, the context of such incidents, and the impact these incidents have on the mental health and wellbeing of paramedics and their families.

If you are currently a working or retired Canadian paramedic (which for the purpose of this study includes EMR, EMA, P*P, ACP, CCP, and med-techs in the Canadian Armed Forces), regardless of the position or rank that you hold, you are invited to participate in Phase I of the study – an online survey that will take approximately 45-90 minutes of your time.

The survey, which is being conducted by Dr. Renée MacPhee and the CSVAP research team, has been approved by the Research Ethics Board (REB) at Wilfrid Laurier University (REB # 9197).

Please use the link below to learn more about the study and how you can participate in this very important national initiative.

Nous vous annonçons, par la présente, le lancement de l’Étude canadienne sur la violence contre les paramédics (ECVCP) !

Les Chefs paramédics du Canada (CPC) et l’Association des paramédics du Canada (APC) ont le plaisir de vous annoncer le lancement de l’Étude canadienne sur la violence contre les paramédics (ECVCP). Cette étude est rendue possible grâce à l’appui financier du Programme canadien pour la sûreté et la sécurité ainsi que de Recherche et développement pour la défense Canada (PCSS — RDDC).



L’objectif principal de l’étude est de recueillir les données nécessaires pour combler les lacunes de connaissances actuelles concernant la violence contre les paramédics au Canada, le contexte de tels incidents, ainsi que l’impact qu’ont ces incidents sur la santé mentale et le bien-être des paramédics et de leurs familles.

Si vous êtes actuellement un(e) paramédic candien(ne) actif ou retraité (pour les buts de l’étude, cela inclut : les RMU, les PMU, les TPSP, les TPSA, les TPSC, ainsi que les techniciens médicaux des Forces armées canadiennes, quel que soit le poste ou le rang occupé, vous êtes invités à participer à la Phase 1 de l’étude — une enquête nationale en ligne qui demandera approximativement 45 à 90 minutes de votre temps.

L’enquête, menée par la Dre Renée MacPhee et l’équipe de recherche ECVC, a été approuvée par Le Comité d’éthique en recherche (CER) de Wilfrid Laurier University (REB # 9197).
