Interventions

  • Hydration education and self-assessment — BEHAVIORAL
    Hydration education is a 25-minute session based on the theory of planned behavior, including the instructions how to use a worksheet for hydration self-assessment and materials.

Study Details

The studies objective is to assess the efficacy of hydration education and the use of a self-assessment worksheet vs. a no-intervention control on improving fluid intake and hydration status in underhydrated wildland firefighters (WLFFs) and their surrogates. Part I allows to understand hydration status of the participants (screening phase), Part II confirms if participants indeed are deemed to be low fluid consumers, and Part III of this research is a clinical trial that will focus on the optimization of hydration by improving fluid intake (and as a result lowering urine concentration) allowing participants theoretically to improve exercise performance (acute) and optimize health on the long term.

  • No Intervention: No Hydration education and hydration self-assessment (business as usual)
    Participants do not participate in any education or self-assessment, other than applying their normal hydration strategies.

Primary Outcome Measure
