The authors created a comprehensive evidence-based Emergency Preparedness Training Program focused on long-term retention and sustained learner engagement.
Method: A prospective observational study was conducted of a simulation-based mass casualty event training program designed using an outcomes-based logic model.
Introduction: The Stop the Bleed (STB) program trains the general public on identifying and treating life-threatening bleeding. Data on efficacy and retention of skills taught through this program are limited, with the role of high-technology modalities to augment the program, such as simulation and feedback devices, untested.
Methods: A convenience sample of 66 school personnel participated in an open-label observational study from January to August 2019.
