Abstract
Objectives: The aims of the study are to describe the current state, identify topics of importance, and suggest implementation strategies for tailored nutrition education for the WLFFs.
Methods: Focus groups were conducted and survey data was collected to gather qualitative and quantitative data from a sample of WLFFs. Constant comparative strategy was used to generate themes from transcripts.
Results: Wildland firefighters showed interest in early-introduced, multimodal, and specific nutrition education tailored to the demands of the WLFF.
Conclusions: Study findings provide nutrition topics of interest and importance to WLFFs and may be used to develop educational materials.
