Training
High School Students on Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated
External Defibrillator (AED) use through
HRIDAY-SHAN's School Network in Delhi.
The project aims at training high
school students for imparting Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR) skills and use
of Automated External Defibrillator
(AED) by trained instructors/experts.
The intent of providing such training
for students is to make them learn
a basic life saving technique which
can be used to rescue persons who
have stopped breathing or gone into
cardiac arrest. The intent will be
not only to equip these young persons
with skills to perform life saving
resuscitative procedures but also
to sensitize them on the catastrophic
consequences of cardiovascular diseases
and how to avoid these in their future
life. |

Tobacco use Among Young Persons Belonging to Low Socio Economic Groups in Urban India: Dimensions, Determinants and Dynamics of Behaviour Change through a Community Based Intervention
|
HRIDAY has a decade long extensive experience of working with school going students of 300 schools in Delhi and 9 other states of India, on preventing and reducing tobacco use among youth. Now HRIDAY-SHAN is going to adopt health promotion and health advocacy model with the youth living in urban slums of Delhi with the intent of promoting tobacco cessation among them. In this context HRIDAY – SHAN conducting a research project entitled “Tobacco use Among Young Persons Belonging to Low Socio Economic Groups in Urban India: Dimensions, Determinants and Dynamics of Behaviour Change through a Community Based Intervention”.
The project was planned to be completed in three phases. Phase-I was conducted in two slum communities in Delhi, which included exploratory discussions to recognize the problem of tobacco use among youth. At present HRIDAY, plans to implement Phase-II of the project, which is being supported by CCDC (Centre for Chronic Disease Control).
The goal of this project is to develop, implement and evaluate the cost effectiveness of a multi-component, community based intervention programme for promoting tobacco cessation among young persons (ages 10-19 years), belonging to low SES, in Delhi. In Phase-II, a demonstration project will be conducted in two slum communities of Delhi i.e in Seelampur and in Gautampuri.
