Title	An analysis of Middletown residents and their elected officials' attitudes toward a publically funded ambulance service
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2011; *
Resource Type	Special Project
Notes	The project was designed to analyze Middletown, Connecticut’s residents, city managers, and elected officials’ attitudes towards a transfer from a privately run ambulance service to one that is publicly run. The project was supported by the Mayor of Middletown which allowed the researcher to include the city officials in the study. Data was collected via an eighteen question telephone survey to measure the attitudes of 367 likely Middletown voters. A focus group was used to measure the attitudes of 6 city managers and elected officials including the Mayor of Middletown. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to analyze the survey data while focus group data was examined qualitatively. Findings from both data sets revealed that both voters and city officials generally favored switching to a publicly run ambulance service. Several positive outcomes were noted if a change was to be made. These included an increase in workforce stability, direct radio communication between firefighters and ambulance workers, direct control over the number of ambulances on duty, the ability to charge and bill for medical calls and services as well as generate a potential profit for the city. However, challenges remained in terms of funding the large initial capital costs, obtaining a primary service agreement, demonstrating a strong need for a change and selling the voters on making the change.
