Summary

This study looked at whether a blended learning approach (online plus in-person) for first aid training helps adults in Rwanda learn and act better than traditional face-to-face classes or no training at all. Over 500 adults were randomly assigned to one of three groups. Researchers measured their knowledge, skills, and willingness to help before, right after, and six months after training. The goal was to find the most effective way to teach first aid to laypeople.
