We are trying to find out about things that stop people from helping someone having a cardiac arrest and also things that would help people get involved.

Research is how we describe the work we are doing to find an answer to a question. Our research question is ‘how to help people in high-risk areas to overcome obstacles in performing bystander CPR?’

We have been working closely with people from lots of different minority group backgrounds in lots of different ways.
