Summary

This trial aims to test a web-based training intervention to build resilience and wellness capacity among police officers exposed to PTSI, and examine sex and gender as central determinants of health.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for active duty frontline law enforcement officers in Canada who speak English fluently. It's designed to help police officers build resilience and wellness capacity, potentially reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress injuries (PTSI).
What is being tested?
The study tests Autonomic Modulation Training (AMT), a web-based program aimed at improving resilience against stress and trauma. The effectiveness of AMT will be compared to traditional in-person training methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive training techniques, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or increased awareness of stress during the process.
