Research Study: Caffeine Use Amongst EMS Providers
A research study bringing to light the amount of caffeine consumption amongst first responders
This is a research study was completed in the Fall of 2025. Maybe I’m biased because I was personally involved, but the data we gathered is indicative of further research. The study’s purpose was the determine how much caffeine EMS providers consumed on and off shift. The numbers we found were enlightening as a significant number of providers consumed more than the FDA suggested limits. 3,225 respondents completed this cross-sectional survey from across the globe.
I’m proud of the work we did to get the research project completed, and am super excited that it was picked up and published in JEMS.
