Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The objective of this paper is to measure the effect of an innovative training programme on the help seeking behaviour and helping rates of bystanders in medical emergencies. We chose to test the helping behaviour for acute myocardial infarction because it is an important cause of mortality and invalidity. While the victim is urgently in need of help, delay in seeking professional help is an important problem.

first aid and helping behaviour
The helping behaviour training is given after 24 hours first aid training and aims to sensitise participants towards a helping reaction and teach participants how to deal with barriers to helping
Helping behaviour curriculum
The objective of the helping behaviour curriculum is to sensitise participants to develop a helping reaction, and to teach participants how to deal with barriers to helping. The helping behaviour curriculum is being taught in 2hours.
first aid only
This group receives training in first aid only without training in helping behaviour.
First aid only curriculum
