Description
Ferdushi Akhter, Shanzida Khatun, and Happy Bandana Biswas test a two week hand hygiene program at a Dhaka school, in a 2025 study. School children quietly carry and spread infections. Clean hands are a cheap shield.
Forty students took lessons built on the knowledge, attitude, and practice model. Questionnaires before and after showed clear gains in all three areas. Knowledge gains were the largest statistically, with practice close behind. Students who knew more also practiced better hygiene. The authors offer the results as a baseline for policymakers. They suggest weaving hygiene into the school curriculum. A larger trial across more schools is still needed.
