In the first half of the 20th century, up to the 1960s, only six states had provided standard educational courses for rescue workers. What happened to change that attitude?

The government took interest in the increasing number of serious and fatal vehicle crashes.

Reports were written not just about road safety but about the poor emergency medical care as a factor in many deaths.

President Johnson formed the 1965 President’s Commission on Highway Safety to evaluate risk on the road.

The rise of rock and roll and teen musical concerts caused havoc in city streets.

Answer: Reports were written not just about road safety but about the poor emergency medical care as a factor in many deaths.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Johnson had become very interested in motor vehicle accidents such that he created a commission to investigate the causes and ways of mitigating motor vehicle crashes.

The Commission released its report around the same time as the National Academy of Sciences–National Research Council did theirs. What both reports showed was that training was massively needed for rescue workers if they were to preserve life for a long as possible till a doctor was reached.
