Event Description
Defense title: A mixed methods study of safety climate, safety behaviors,
organizational outcomes, and injuries in three convenience samples of US fire
departments.
Ashley M. Geczik, MPH, will present her dissertation during this webinar,
which contains three separate studies:
- Aim 1: Investigating the individual and fire department level
characteristics and independently examining the association between safety
climate and downstream outcomes in two safety climate survey waves
- Aim 2: Evaluating departmental changes and changes in safety climate scores
between two safety climate assessments
- Aim 3: Developing a safety compliance behavior scale for EMS response
Ashley is a 4th year PhD Candidate in the Department of Environmental and
Occupational Health at Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health.
She is a research member of the FIRST Center and has worked on data management
for the FOCUS 3.0 survey wave. Ashley pursued her doctoral training with FIRST
because she is the daughter of a 9/11 disaster recovery worker and wanted to
give back to the fire and rescue service community. Her dissertation research
is focused on safety climate and its associations with organizational and
safety outcomes among the US fire and rescue service. Ashley received her BS in
Biology from Loyola University Maryland in 2015. She received her MPH in
Epidemiology from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in
2017. Prior to her doctoral training, Ashley worked as an epidemiology research
analyst at the National Cancer Institute in the Division of Cancer Epidemiology
and genetics in the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch.
Ashley dedicates her dissertation research to the members of the US fire
and rescue service for whom this work was conducted. She thanks those that
completed the FOCUS Safety Culture Survey for their participation, which made
her dissertation research possible.
