Aims and Scope (from publisher):
The International Journal of First Aid Education is a fully open-access journal that publishes peer-reviewed articles to advance the knowledge and practices of those involved in first aid and first aid education. Through our publications and community we aim to improve and increase the action taken to help people in health emergencies through high quality education, evidence-based medical application, and strong social and public policy to build resilience.
The journal is founded on the Chain of Survival Behaviors which is central to all articles we publish. The chain conveys the wide scope of first aid’s educational domains:
-Prevention and preparedness for emergencies large and small;
-Early recognition of acute illness or injury;
-Provision of help, directly or by accessing Emergency Medical Services; and
-Support for recovery by the individual or through a health system.
These domains are relevant to everyone, everywhere regardless of context or medical training. Their application supports emergency response, encourages self-care, and public health. Giving a voice for evidence across these domains offers training providers the potential to produce confident, competent, and willing responders.
We are fortunate for the use of the Open Journal System (OJS), through the University of Virginia Library’s Aperio. The IJFAE, thanks to its generous volunteers, is able to provide this open access journal with no publishing fees for authors or access fees for readers. As an author, you may deposit versions of your work in an institutional or other repository of your choice and retain copyright.
