Filter by:Based on these considerations, this randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of a personalized visual oral health education program in addition to conventional education on oral hygiene by comparing changes in clinical periodontal parameters. Participants will get conventional oral hygiene education (COHE) with/without visual motivation using self oral photographs of patients. Researchers will compare Intervention group and control groups on oral hygiene by comparing changes in clinical periodontal parameters.
The research will test the hypothesis that a scalable behaviour change intervention can improve hand-washing practices in rural Indian households. The intervention will be designed using a social marketing approach and will use motivational messages targeting key audiences rather than educational messages about germs and disease which previously have been found ineffective. The intervention will be designed for low-cost, scaleable delivery using a series of visits to target villages by a two-person team on a motorbike. The key goal of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a scaleable, social marketing intervention to promote hand-washing with soap. The study will take the form of a cluster-randomized, controlled intervention trial. Villages will be randomized to receive either the intervention or no intervention. The primary outcome measure will be the proportion of key events (defecation, faecal contact or food handling) accompanied by hand-washing with soap. These data will be collected by direct observation. A secondary outcome measure will be the number of soap movement episodes. These data will be collected in a sub-sample of households by using electronic motion detectors embedded in bars of soap. Additionally, questionnaires will be used to collect data on social norms, self-reported soap use and habitual soap use. All data will be collected pre and post-intervention.
An anonymous online survey will be conducted to measure the barriers and facilitators parents and teachers experience to positively influencing children's hand-hygiene. A sub-section of the survey will also examine the barriers and facilitators they experience to surface cleaning. The final survey will be conducted with participants from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The data collected will be completely anonymous and there are no sensitive questions. The primary and secondary analyses will focus on the hand-hygiene items to examine the survey's internal and external validity. The results will inform a future school-based intervention.
The rate of infectious diseases (amnioninfection syndrome (AIS), fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS), early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS)) in perinatal care / neonatology is steadily rising in Germany. The hands of the staff and visitors are the most important transmission vehicle of pathogens. Hence hand hygiene is one of the most important measures for the prevention of hospital infections. The different measures of hand hygiene serve to protect against the spread of contamination of the skin with obligate or potentially pathogenic pathogens. Since the use of antibiotics is generally only possible to a limited extent (especially in pregnant women and neonates in perinatal care centers) the primary prophylactic measures are of great importance. While the importance of hand disinfection in the staff has been undisputed, there is no data on the rate of hand disinfection for visitors of perinatal care centers. Visitor at these stations are common non-compliant persons (especially children!). On the other hand, pregnant women and young mothers and newborn babies are "exposed" to a large number of visitors compared to other stations. The investigators examine whether special measures (such as voice prompts) have a positive effect on the rate of performed hand disinfections or consecutively on the infection rate.
The investigators will conduct a cluster-randomized trial to assess the impact of a school-based water, sanitation and hygiene program on health and educational outcomes of school children in Saravane Province, Laos. The intervention will include an improved water supply (borehole), a sanitation block that includes three pour-flush latrines with rainwater harvesting to be used for flushing and a urinal, and sinks for handwashing with soap. The school will also receive a facility for group handwashing (large pipe where many children can wash hands at once. United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) will additionally provide behavior change education. Our key outcome of interest is pupil absence, which will be measured longitudinally using roll-call on days of schools visits. Secondary outcomes include self-reported absence, diarrhea and respiratory infection of a random selection of students. The investigators will also monitor the fidelity of the intervention and assess school conditions and pupil sanitation and handwashing behaviors using structured observation.
