First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a handwashing lesson using a special glow device helps primary school students wash their hands more thoroughly. 148 students from two schools took part: one school got the lesson and glow feedback, the other did not. Researchers checked handwashing quality right away and again after 1, 3, and 6 months to see if the training stuck.
