First seen May 13, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using alcohol hand sanitizers and face masks, along with educational materials, can reduce the spread of colds and flu among family members. Over 2,700 people from 450 households in New York City took part. Each family was randomly assigned to receive either just educational materials, materials plus hand sanitizers, or materials plus sanitizers and face masks when someone had flu symptoms. The researchers tracked how often family members got sick over 15 months.
