Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (B-CPR) and defibrillation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) vary by sex, with women being less likely to receive these interventions in public. It is unknown whether sex differences persist when considering neighborhood racial ethnic composition. We examined the odds of receiving B-CPR stratified location neighborhood. hypothesized that predominantly Black neighborhoods will have a lower B-CPR.
