26 Assessing the links between first aid training and community resilience aid training to be prepared in case of an emergency. This, along with attending training for the safety of family (47%), to be of assistance to others outside of the family (46%) and for one’s own safety (29%) could also be considered as putting preparations in place to enable an effective response. > Reason for attending training also showed a difference between those in the Control group who had previously or had never been trained; where those with previous training were almost one-and-a-half times more likely to say they were attending the upcoming training in order to be prepared for an emergency (79% compared with 56%, respectively).20 > People in the Trained group who had been trained multiple times were one-and-a-half times more likely than those trained once to say that they attended the training for their job or to help find work (34% compared with suggested that first aid training would, in the 21%, respectively), whereas those trained only words of one respondent, “help communities once were almost twice as likely to say it was by enabling people to take steps to protect for a course they were on (32% compared themselves and others from further injury”. with 17%, respectively).21 > Having preparations in place was generally > People who attended or will attend the similar between Trained and Control training because of a course they were on were respondents, although Trained were less willing to give first aid than people who 22 significantly more likely than Control to say attended or will attend for any other reason. their community had done “something else” This suggests that people who attend first aid 17 (12% compared with 1%, respectively). training for their own personal reasons are more willing to give first aid than those who > Within the Control group itself, respondents attend because it is mandatory, or again, this who had been trained previously were almost could be a result of multiple training, as those twice as likely as those who had never been on a course were likely to have only been trained to say their community had taken steps trained the once. to reduce risks to health and safety (63% 18 compared with 33%, respectively).
