<p> This convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted to examine the attitudes of emergency medical services (EMS) stakeholders based on the “EMS Agenda for the Future.” A sample of 104 accident and emergency (A&E) doctors, prehospital EMS providers, and A&E nurses in Barbados participated. The tripartite model of attitudes (beliefs, affect, and behavior) was used as the theoretical underpinning. Data collected using electronic surveys and information from semi-structured interviews were analyzed. affect and belief measures exists across the three groups of EMS stakeholders. The application of regression models confirmed that a significant relationship between affect and belief measures of the EMS stakeholders existed. A significant relationship also exists between belief and behavior measures of prehospital EMS providers. This research places on improving public health by addressing the beliefs, affect, and behaviors of EMS stakeholders.</p><p>
