Thank you for agreeing to participate in the NIOSH Anthropometric Assessment of Law Enforcement Officers. You are scheduled for <INSERT TIME HERE> on <INSERT DATE HERE>, at

<INSERT LOCATION HERE>.

As a reminder, the assessment will last about 63 minutes. Please bring with you your uniform and the gear you use. A detailed explanation of all the procedures will be provided when you arrive, but the main points are:

• After hearing the procedures explained, you will be asked to give consent by signing a form.

• You will change into sports shorts (and sports bras for females) which we will provide.

• An investigator will locate and mark some bony points on your body, and take 45 body measurements. A female investigator will locate the landmarks and take measurements on female participants.

• You will use a tablet computer to complete an assessment on challenges you encountered with your vehicle cab space and operation, seat belt use, and armor use.

• You will be scanned by a whole body scanner (seated and standing), a head scanner, a hand scanner and a foot scanner; the low power scanning beams will not penetrate your body or clothing.

• You will change back into your own gear, and be scanned again. An additional 16 measurements will be taken with your gear on.

• After the survey is completed, you will receive $70 as a token of appreciation and be released. Investigators will answer any questions you have at the survey location, but if you have questions before you arrive, please respond to this e-mail, or call <INSERT NAME AND NUMBER HERE>.

Thank you again for your participation!
