Summary

This trial tests whether a first aid training program, built on a structured educational model, improves high school students' first aid knowledge, self-efficacy, and practical skills compared to standard materials like videos and brochures. About 187 tenth-grade students will be randomly assigned to either the new program or the control group. Researchers will measure outcomes before training, right after, and at one and three months later, and also analyze the program's cost.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A first aid training program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a model for teaching first aid in schools, potentially improving emergency response among young people.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and single-site, so results may not apply broadly. Skill assessments may vary, and long-term retention is uncertain.
