Brief Summary

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.
