CPR/AED Training State Requirements for US High School Students and Athletic Coaches: A Descriptive Comparison
Currently 79% of states have requirements for coaches to have CPR/AED training and 84% of states require students to have CPR/AED training. However, there are 9 states where high school students are required to have more training in CPR/AED skills than the adults who would be supervising their practices. These results identify a possible gap in CPR/AED bystander training and raise questions regarding who would respond in the event of a cardiac emergency.
