Student Classroom Quality Assurance Product Surveys
May 7, 2012
Thanks to the support of Training Center Coordinators and Instructors, the American Heart Association
Quality Assurance Market Research Program with classroom students has received a strong
response thus far.
The information we gather from this extensive, seven-month Quality Assurance Program will help AHA
understand the effectiveness of our approaches and the value of our educational tools as we develop
future training programs.
In May we still need your assistance in inviting your students to participate in the survey for the
following courses.
1. BLS for Healthcare Providers
2. ACLS
3. PALS
4. Heartsaver® CPR AED
5. Heartsaver® First Aid
6. Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED
7. Family & Friends® CPR
Thank you for your support. We know that this feedback will be invaluable as we strive with you to best
prepare students to properly deliver emergency cardiovascular care, CPR and first aid.
To facilitate your request to each classroom student, we are providing you with:
1. A student information sheet about the survey that you can hand to each classroom student at
the end of training. The information sheet is the first attachment. (page 3)
2. A follow-up email that we suggest that you send to students the day after they complete the
course. The copy for the email is the second attachment. (page 5)
You will need to add information on both the information sheet and the emails before you distribute
them to the classroom students.
To thank each student for completing the survey, each will be entered into a monthly drawing to win
one of two $300 VISA Gift Cards. The incentive in May for two randomly chosen instructors who
successfully encouraged students to participate in the online research will also be a $300 VISA
Gift Card!
We know that this feedback will be invaluable as we strive with you to best prepare students to properly
deliver emergency cardiovascular care, CPR and/or first aid.
