title: An effective CPR home learning system. A program evaluation.
abstract: 1. Program evaluation using a self instruction CPR home learning system indicated that people could learn CPR without attending a formal class. Reported training time for adult CPR averaged 1 hour, and ease of understanding was rated 4.9 on a 5 point scale. 2. Use of a home learning system can benefit a workplace by reducing reliance on a CPR instructor, reducing total training time, and exposing families and others in the community to the learning experience. 3. This program evaluation suggests that this training methodology supports the mission of AHA, and also can meet corporate objectives.
