REDucing Influenza Among University Students, University of California at Berkeley (REDI-US)

January 6, 2010 updated by: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Effectiveness of Selected Non-pharmaceutical Interventions in Reducing Influenza-like Illness Among University Students

We will be testing the hypothesis whether online education for UC Berkeley students on respiratory hygiene, cough etiquette, hand hygiene/awareness, as well as face mask use (while ill) will reduce the acquisition and transmission of influenza-like illness. The study will be conducted during the flu seasons 2006-7 and 2007-8.
