Northern Illinois University Seeks Participants for 9-1-1 Call Taker & Interpreter Study

Research is currently being done that explores the health of telecommunicators and video interpreters who handle emergency calls over time. NIU is looking for participants that fit any one of these profiles: telecommunicators with at least one year of experience, telecommunicators who use live video, video interpreters who have handled an emergency call, and telecommunication trainees within their first 3 months of training. Surveys are completed online and can be done in multiple sittings. Each project will have a drawing for two $100 cash prizes at its conclusion. Anyone interested in participating can email NIU and describe which of the four profiles seem to fit you best.
