Multimedia First Aid Program for Families

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for children and infants under 14 years of age. Many of these deaths are preventable, in part by promoting injury prevention behaviors but also by administering effective emergency first aid techniques until advanced care arrives. This project created a web site program that paired video-based instruction with interactive skills training to teach parents of children birth to 12 years old basic first-aid and CPR skills, and that included the option to practice skills as needed.
