Summary

Prehospital management after road traffic crashes(RTC) is a predicting factor to patient outcomes especially in Low-Income Countries where emergency medical services are lacking. This may explain the high mortality related to RTC in Rwanda for instance, where the delay to reach the hospital of these victims was found as an independent factor to death . For that reason, this study hypothesizes that the training of non -professionals as commercial motorcyclists could help to reduce trauma-related mortality and morbidity in Rwanda.

The protocol general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of road traffic crashes first -aid education on knowledge, attitudes, and practice among commercial motorcyclists in Kigali-City, Rwanda.

Hypotheses are:

1. There is a difference in the baseline level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice on road crashes' first aid between the intervention and control groups of commercial motorcyclists.
2. There is a relationship between socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge, attitudes, and practice' levels on first aid among commercial motorcyclists.
3. There is a relationship between the education intervention and Knowledge, attitudes, and practice' level on first aid among commercial motorcyclists
