Help us improve the understanding of flight attendant health. Join the cohort today—the FA Health Study is recruiting flight attendants from across the U.S. to take a quick survey about work and health history. You have the chance to take part in an important venture that will help you, your coworkers, and generations of flight attendants to come know more about an understudied occupation. Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health conducted a landmark study in 2007 on this subject, and follow-up today is needed to understand trends in flight attendant health over time. Over 4,000 flight attendants participated in the first study. Help us exceed this number. The prevalence of respiratory disease amongst Flight Attendants was approximately three times that found in the general U.S. population. In addition, sleep disorders, fatigue, depression and heart disease were greatly increased in female Flight Attendants compared to the U.S. population. Release of the FAA Report (Coming Soon!)
