(sammanfattning) Umeå : Umeå universitet, 2020 Summary: An overwhelming proportion of road traffic deaths and injuries in low- and middle-income countries occurs in prehospital environments. Lay responders such as traffic police officers play an important role in providing initial assistance to victims of road crashes, either alone or in collaboration with others. However, published and unpublished reports indicate that traffic police officers lack appropriate first aid education and therefore competencies to care for road crash victims. The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the impact of a post-crash educational programme on traffic police officers’ first aid competencies and application at the workplace. Four interrelated studies were conducted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
