As a focus group moderator in healthcare, I did many projects on hand hygiene in HC settings; folks gave endless excuses for not washing their hands as required. We found the best way to convince many was to illustrate how much they, the workers, were at risk if they didn’t wash properly; most gave a hoot about the patients… A set of hidden camera videos showing how often the average employee in a hospital, for example, touched their own face/lips/nose/eyes made many sit up and take note. Average of 25 times an hour! And this was long before COVID, BTW. I haven’t had a cold or the flu (or COVID) in 18 years because my hand hygiene, even as a retiree, is probably a bit overboard.

Campers must wash hands and faces before partaking in any outdoor activities that involve getting dirty.
