ID: 0ceg4517
Snippet: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) training in schools are mandated in the Ontario high school curriculum. We surveyed schools to understand the scope of this training, including its barriers and facilitators. We recruited 120 (58.5%) elementary, 25 (12.2%) middle, and 60 (29.3%) high schools. Almost 60% (120 of 200) provided staff with CPR training, but only 56% (27 of 48) of high schools trained students. Major barriers included lack of funding, time

We surveyed schools to understand the scope of this training, including its barriers and facilitators. We recruited 120 (58.5%) elementary, 25 (12.2%) middle, and 60 (29.3%) high schools. Almost 60% (120 of 200) provided staff with CPR training, but only 56% (27 of 48) of high schools trained students. Major barriers included lack of funding, time, and trainers. Despite government-mandated curriculum, only 56% of high schools offer CPR and AED training. More research is needed to understand the barriers to implementing this lifesaving training.
