Behavioral Determinants That May Influence People's Hand-hygiene and Environment Disinfecting

Surveys of the Behavioral Determinants That May Influence People's Hand-hygiene and Environment Disinfecting in Different Countries

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.

[response options 0% - 100%]	Reported during the survey on Day 1
Self-reported confience in positively influencing children's hygeine when they are not watching	Participants' responses to the following question: When your [children/pupils] cannot see you watching them, what percentage of the time do they wash their hands with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating?'[response options 0 - 100%]	Reported during the survey on Day 1
