Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a commercial hand washing promotion program on hygiene knowledge attitudes and practices and on health outcomes such as reported infectious illnesses and school absences
Detailed Description:
Diarrheal and respiratory diseases cause 38 million deaths annually among children in the developing world Reduced rates of these diseases have been measured during intensive home-based handwashing interventions We evaluated a school-based handwashing program for 1st grade students to determine whether a more scalable intervention could also reduce illness rates and impact hygiene knowledge and attitudes
Thirty schools from each of 3 counties in Fujian Province China were randomized to one of the following groups a control b standard intervention which included a handwashing program 1 hour of hygiene instruction and 1 soap sample kit per pupil or c expanded intervention which included the handwashing program soap for school sinks and 1 peer hygiene monitor per class Teachers collected illness symptom information from students weekly and recorded student absences daily between January and April 2005 Mean illness and absence rates were calculated for each school Students were given a knowledge attitudes and practices questionnaire before the intervention and again 5 months later
