对美国具有全国代表性的基本和辅助医疗紧急医疗服务提供者进行了抽样调查，以评估他们对恐怖事件作出反应的意愿。急救队明显(9-13%)不愿对天花爆发、化学袭击或放射性脏弹等潜在的恐怖事件做出反应(p<；0.0001)。在过去2年内接受过与恐怖主义有关的继续医学教育的急诊医生愿意对潜在的天花传播事件作出反应的可能性(OR=1.9，95%CI 1.9，2.0)是那些表示没有接受过此类培训的急诊医生的两倍。及时和适当的培训，关注人际关系，灌输责任感，可能会提高第一医疗提供者的响应率。
A nationally representative sample of basic and paramedic emergency medical service providers in the United States was surveyed to assess their willingness to respond to terrorist incidents. EMT's were appreciably (9-13%) less willing than able to respond to such potential terrorist-related incidents as smallpox outbreaks, chemical attacks, or radioactive dirty bombs (p < 0.0001). EMTs who had received terrorism-related continuing medical education within the previous 2 years were twice as likely (OR = 1.9, 95% Cl 1.9, 2.0) to be willing to respond to a potential smallpox dissemination incident as those who indicated that they had not received such training. Timely and appropriate training, attention to interpersonal concerns, and instilling a sense of duty may increase first medical provider response rates.
