QUADRUPLE
1. Control Group - Group "B" - Will not receive the CAL module training for the first retest session (T1), but will for T2.
2. Experimental Group - Group "A" will complete the CAL module ahead of the first retest date (T1), but not for T2.
Allocation of subjects to each group will be concealed in envelopes so that no other researcher knows who was assigned to a particular group (allocation concealment). The faculty member who performs the randomization and allocation will be the only researcher with knowledge of group allocation. This individual will open the envelopes and send the corresponding CAL module training link at the time points designated above. This faculty member is not involved in the class and has no knowledge of the outcomes or training provided.
Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A
This is the initial experimental group who will be exposed to the CAL module 48 hours before the first retesting period 2 months out from initial baseline measurement.
Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) Module
The students assigned to Group A will undergo interactive CAL module training by the American Medical Association which outlines how to properly measure blood pressure manually following the American Heart Association guidelines.
Group B
This is the initial control group who will not be exposed to the CAL module 48 hours before the first retesting period 2 months out from initial baseline measurement.
No interventions assigned to this group
