Subjects: Five ROTC cadre and twenty-nine ROTC cadets participated in the study and completed a short survey.
Methods: The subjects completed a two minute CPR skills test.
Results: There was a statistical difference between the subjects and their confidence level (t=0.00000006674473491). There also was a statistical difference between subjects and the number of skill errors (t=0.01445495933).
