The Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT) course is designed to familiarize health workers with the ETAT guidelines and to provide them with the necessary knowledge and skills for applying the guidelines. It teaches health workers to: triage all sick children they arrive at a health facility, into those with emergency signs, with priority signs, or non-urgent cases; and provide emergency treatment for life-threatening conditions. The link connects to both the manual for participants and facilitators. MANUAL FOR PARTICIPANTS The Manual for Participants is primarily meant for the participants of a 3 and a half day training course in Emergency Triage, Assessment and Treatment. It provides participants with the reading materials to prepare themselves for the modules taught in the course. In addition, it gives questions for self-assessment which participants can respond to after having gone through the training. Apart from use in a full-time training course, the reading will be useful for trainers and participants who take part in training as a series of seminars. FACILITATOR GUIDE The Facilitator Guide contains guidance on how to conduct ETAT training courses, with timetables, listings of the necessary material, scenarios and answers to the assessment questions. It is meant for ETAT course directors and facilitators. Search keywords: earthquake, disaster.
