“…The incidence of OHCA has been consistently higher in black individuals compared with white individuals in the United States . Notable disparities exist in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training and the use of bystander CPR in predominantly black vs white communities . Studies examining differences in survival among black and white individuals who experience OHCA have produced conflicting results .…”

“…Studies examining differences in survival among black and white individuals who experience OHCA have produced conflicting results . Although there has been robust research that black neighborhoods have lower bystander CPR, there has been limited comprehensive examination of whether the racial composition of black residents in a neighborhood is associated with other bystander treatments, emergency medical services (EMS) processes of care, and OHCA outcomes, to our knowledge. Elucidating such an association could help to allocate finite national and local resources to areas in most need of improved training, care, and outcomes.…”

“…Black and Latino cardiac arrest victims are 30% less likely than whites to have bystander CPR performed. 4 Individuals in neighborhoods composed of minority and lower socioeconomic status populations are more likely to have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest event, less likely to have bystander CPR performed, and less likely to survive. 5-10 Previous research has shown that these neighborhoods can be identified and targeted for potential out-of-hospital cardiac arrest interventions designed to address these issues.…”

Study objective Individuals in neighborhoods composed of minority and lower socioeconomic status populations are more likely to have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest event, less likely to have bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed, and less likely to survive. Latino cardiac arrest victims are 30% less likely than whites to have bystander CPR performed. The goal of this study is to identify barriers and facilitators to calling 911, and learning and performing CPR in 5 low-income, Latino neighborhoods in Denver, CO. Methods Six focus groups and 9 key informant interviews were conducted in Denver during the summer of 2012. Purposeful and snowball sampling, conducted by community liaisons, was used to recruit participants. Two reviewers analyzed the data to identify recurrent and unifying themes. A qualitative content analysis was used with a 5-stage iterative process to analyze each transcript. Results Six key barriers to calling 911 were identified: fear of becoming involved because of distrust of law enforcement, financial, immigration status, lack of recognition of cardiac arrest event, language, and violence. Seven cultural barriers were identified that may preclude performance of bystander CPR: age, sex, immigration status, language, racism, strangers, and fear of touching someone. Participants suggested that increasing availability of tailored education in Spanish, increasing the number of bilingual 911 dispatchers, and policy-level changes, including CPR as a requirement for graduation and strengthening Good Samaritan laws, may serve as potential facilitators in increasing the provision of bystander CPR. Conclusion Distrust of law enforcement, language concerns, lack of recognition of cardiac arrest, and financial issues must be addressed when community-based CPR educational programs for Latinos are implemented.
