health effects of COVID19 on the police officers.
To meet the aims of this study there will be two rounds of data collection.
The first round will consist of collecting both the mental and physical health data. The second round, approximately 68 months later, will consist of collecting the mental health and medical history surveys only.
During the first round, letters will be sent to officers who participated in the previous BCOPS study asking them to voluntarily participate in this study.
Once they agree, a letter of introduction will be sent. If an officer hasnt responded after two letters have been sent, UB will contact the officers by phone. If the officer declines to participate they will no longer be contacted. For officers who agree to participate, UB will coordinate the scheduling of officers with the police department and will not schedule officers more than one month in advance. Scheduling will be flexible.
At their designated appointment, all participants will complete the paper and pencil questionnaires then complete the clinical exam, which will entail a fasting blood draw approximately four tablespoons, measuring the participants height, weight, abdominal height, waist circumference and neck circumference,
COVID questionnaire. The psychological surveys will be the same surveys they did during the first round, while the COVID questionnaire asks additional questions related to their experience with COVID since the clinic visit. They will not be asked to complete the personal history questionnaire the second time. This second set of questionnaires allows NIOSH to meet the study aims.
The burden table lists the estimated population size of 200 police officers who will respond to 16 psychosocial questionnaires, serological blood collection, and salivary cortisol at the first round. All officers who participate in the first round and who have agreed, will be mailed the medical history questionnaire and psychosocial questionnaires 68 months later second round. Biological samples will not be collected during the second round. We anticipate that up to 10% of the participants may not present for testing during either the first round or second round of questionnaires. Therefore, we estimate that 180 officers will complete both rounds of the data collection. The total burden hours for all surveys, serological sample collection, and salivary cortisol is 547. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time.

and taking their blood pressure. Cortisol saliva testing will be done outside of the clinic at the participants residence by the participant. Participants will be provided with Salivettes Sarstedt, USA, a commercially available collection device consisting of dental rolls and centrifuge tubes, to take with them when the leave the clinic for the collection of saliva samples.
Participants will be given instructions on how to collect the samples to be taken the day after they leave the clinicfour samples in the morning when they awaken, one at lunchtime, one at dinner, and one when the go to sleep. The participant will be asked to return the saliva samples to the clinic when completed either in person or via paid postage. This ends the clinic visit.
UB will advise the participant upon departing during round one that they would like to contact them again in about 68 months to complete the same surveys they did in the clinic.
For the second round, UB will conduct a follow-up survey approximately 68 months after the clinic visit. Each officer who participated in the first round and who agreed to participate in the second round, will be sent the same set of psychological surveys, the medical history questionnaire, and a follow-up
