Handwashing game aims to keep kids Germ-Free
NCT ID NCT07607717
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a game called 'Clean Hands' helps preschool children learn the correct steps for handwashing and tell the difference between good and bad handwashing habits. About 108 children aged 5 to 7 will either play the game once a week for eight weeks or receive no special training. Researchers will check the children's skills before, right after, and three months later to see if the game makes a lasting difference.
