Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this project is to determine the effect of training given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use. In line with this general purpose, the hypotheses of the research are as follows: H0= Education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use has no effect on children's hand hygiene and mask use behaviors. H1= With the education given to children aged 11-14 on hand hygiene and mask use, children will exhibit more correct hand hygiene and mask use behaviors.

Intervention: Once enrolled and consent is documented, eligible subjects will participate in the study for approximately three months. Participants will be expected to attend 2 training sessions and 2 activities (wearing masks and hygienic hand washing), each is up to one hour in length. Follow-up will be made at the beginning of the training, right after the last training. Data analysis will begin once all trainings and activities have been completed. Investigators anticipate completing the study, including primary analyses, within six months from the date recruitment begins.
