- Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to assess the impact of a first aid training delivered through a blended learning approach on learning outcomes and helping behaviour in adult laypeople in Rwanda.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either:
* a first aid training with blended learning approach;
* a first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach;
* no first aid training.
All participants will be asked before, immediately after, and 6 months after the first aid trainings to complete
* a questionnaire on first aid-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and willingness to help;
* a practical test on first aid-related skills.
The helping behaviour of the participants will be surveyed before and 6 months after the first aid trainings have been completed.
Researchers will compare the effects in learning outcomes and helping behaviour after 6 months between:
* the first aid training with blended learning approach and no first aid training;
* the first aid training with blended learning approach and first aid training with conventional face-to-face approach.
