The aim of this study was to identify to what extent voluntary participation in the 2019 initiative delivered training to the population with the highest need. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study of location characteristics for RSAH training events conducted by UK ambulance services. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse event and area characteristics. National cardiac arrest registry data were used to establish proportions of training coverage in “hot spot” areas with above national median incidence of cardiac arrest and below median bystander CPR rates. The significance of observed differences were tested using chi-square for proportions and t-test for means. Results: Twelve of 14 UK ambulance services participated, training 236,318 people. Most of the events (82%) were held in schools, and schoolchildren comprised most participants (81%). RSAH events were held in areas that were less densely populated (p |
