Behavioral Determinants That May Influence People's Hand-hygiene and Environment Disinfecting

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.

Primary outcomes

  1. Theoretical Domains Framework Barriers/Facilitators

    Time frame: Reported during the survey on Day 1

    Participants' agreements with survey statements about the barriers and facilitators they expereince to positively influecing children's hand hygeine and surface cleaning. Each response is given on a 5 point scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. Some statements will be reverse scored.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-reported confience in positively influencing children's hygeine when they are watching

    Time frame: Reported during the survey on Day 1

    Participants' responses to the following question: When your [children/pupils] can see you watching them, what percentage of the time do they wash their hands with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating? [response options 0% - 100%]

  2. Self-reported confience in positively influencing children's hygeine when they are not watching

    Time frame: Reported during the survey on Day 1

    Participants' responses to the following question: When your [children/pupils] cannot see you watching them, what percentage of the time do they wash their hands with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating?'[response options 0 - 100%]

  3. Self-reported hygiene

    Time frame: Reported during the survey on Day 1

    Participants' responses to the following question: What percentage of the time do you wash your own hands with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating? [response options 0-100%]
