Learning and retention of emergency first aid skills in a violent, developing South African township.

Emergency Medicine Journal · 2012-03-20 · Observational study

Abstract

Community members in developing areas can effectively learn first responder training, and skill decay afterwards is not continuous. It is critical that training be done in the trainees' primary language, even if they speak other languages fluently. Making first responder training obligatory for employees and students may be an effective way to generate first responders.
