Summary

This is a comprehensive randomized cluster hand-hygiene improvement intervention to reduce: self-reported acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) / influenza-like-illness (ILI) and gastrointestinal (GI) illness, absenteeism, presenteeism; and related behavioral and attitudinal change over a 90 day trial. The Intervention group will receive hand hygiene supplies, and a variety of educational materials, including environmental posters in common areas. The control group will perform their usual hygiene activities and will not receive an intervention.

Identical weekly surveys will be administered to the intervention and control groups to measure self-reported illness, absenteeism, presenteeism, along with behavior and attitudes measured at specified intervals during the study. The intervention and control groups were randomized by work floors before the onset of the enrollment period. It is hypothesized that employees in the intervention group will experience reduced self-reported illness, absenteeism and presenteeism along with improved protective hygiene behaviors and related attitudes, relative to those in the control group over the 90-day trial.
