Increasing Law Enforcement Application of Automated External Defibrillators (AED)s for Cardiac Arrest

Increasing Law Enforcement Application of Automated External Defibrillators for Cardiac Arrest
The goal of this study is to learn if an automated external defibrillator (AED) training adjunct video can improve law enforcement self-efficacy, the likelihood of AED application overall, and decrease disparities in women.
Participants will be asked to:
- complete a brief initial survey
- view an AED training adjunct video
- complete another survey following the video

Descripción detallada
The investigators will conduct a pilot study to examine the efficacy of an education intervention, based on new 2025 American Heart Association guidelines, to improve the likelihood of AED application.
The intervention and surveys will be delivered asynchronously online.
The investigators will use a short pre-intervention survey to gather information about participants' likelihood and self-efficacy to apply an AED overall and specifically to women.
The investigators will also gather basic demographic information including gender, Basic Life Support certification status, and experience responding to cardiac arrests.
Participants will then watch a short video, followed by a post-intervention survey to examine changes in likelihood and self-efficacy to apply an AED.
All three components will be delivered within the same Qualtrics survey (i.e., pre-survey, video, post-survey).

Experimental: AED training adjunct
Receive AED training intervention
|
Participants will complete a brief survey, then watch an AED training adjunct video, followed by a repeat survey.
All components are delivered asynchronously online.
The investigators will prospectively evaluate using an existing observational registry used for quality improvement and research, the Portland Cardiac Arrest Epidemiologic Registry (PDX Epistry).

Sin intervención: Control
Counties that do not receive the additional training will serve as control counties.
The investigators will prospectively evaluate using an existing observational registry used for quality improvement and research, the Portland Cardiac Arrest Epidemiologic Registry (PDX Epistry).

Change in Confidence to Attach Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Pads on a Woman
Periodo de tiempo: Immediately following the AED training intervention
|
The primary training outcome is, "I am confident I can always attach AED pads in the correct position on a woman".
This question is a modified question from a validated tool to measure changes in self-efficacy, the Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale, which measures "can do" using 0-100.

Change in AED Application
Periodo de tiempo: Prospectively over 18 months following AED training intervention
|
Our primary care outcome is, change in AED application by law enforcement among adult cases with law enforcement on-scene before Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrival overall and stratified by gender relative to the same geographic region in the preceding 5-year period.
The outcome will be measured using the Portland Cardiac Arrest Epidemiologic Registry (PDX Epistry), an existing observational registry used for quality improvement and research.

Modified Basic Resuscitation Skills Self-Efficacy Scale
Periodo de tiempo: Immediately following AED training intervention
|
Measures "can do" using 0-100 for key skills. The investigators revised the scale based on the scope of study. In an emergency situation, I am confident I can always… (rate each on a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the most confident):
7a. Attach AED pads in the correct positions on a man 8. Ensure nobody touches the victim while the rhythm is being analyzed 9. Deliver a rapid and safe shock to the victim keeping visual check and giving verbal commands 10. Resume, without hesitation, appropriate post-shock actions according to current guidelines |

Descripción del plan IPD
All newly generated factual data that is needed for independent verification of research results will be made freely and publicly available in the AHA-approved repository, Zendo following the FAIR data sharing paradigm.
This includes anonymized demographic information, self-efficacy data, and AED training.
The investigators will not deposit open-ended survey responses due to an inability to anonymize or aggregate the data.
