Abstract This project will iteratively develop and test a playable prototype of an interactive web-based handwashing game to improve hand hygiene for elementary school-age children. The commercially released game will be playable on smartphones, tablets, or notebooks, and will emphasize (1) how to wash--proper technique and duration; (2) when to wash--before meals and after visits to the restroom; and (3) consistent application--establishment and maintenance of good hygiene habits. All three components are necessary for effective hand hygiene. Aim 1: Iterative Design. The project team will work with educational technology and clinical experts as co-designers to develop a playable prototype game. The researchers will investigate the usability, engagement, and child focus on key content. Aim 2: Pilot Study. The developed intervention will be tried in a randomized control trial with elementary school children attending after school programs, who have not seen the game before, compared to a control group of children who attend the same after-school program, but do not receive the learning game intervention. Pre- and post-test improvement in hand hygiene technique will be tested with a handwashing trial using UV-fluorescent ink, image capture of washed hands, and quantification of ink remaining after washing. Potential customers include after-school programs, school districts, as well as pediatric and family medicine clinics, that seek infection control measures for hand hygiene that are effective, save provider or teacher time, and target both English and Spanish speaking students and their families.

抽象的 该项目将迭代开发和测试基于网络的交互式洗手游戏的可玩原型，以 改善小学生的手部卫生。商业发行的游戏可以在 智能手机、平板电脑或笔记本电脑，并会强调（1）如何清洗——正确的技术和持续时间； (2) 何时 洗手——饭前和上完厕所后； (3) 一致的应用——建立和维护 良好的卫生习惯。所有这三个组成部分对于有效的手部卫生都是必需的。 目标 1：迭代设计。项目团队将与教育技术和临床专家作为共同设计师， 开发一个可玩的原型游戏。研究人员将调查可用性、参与度以及儿童对关键问题的关注度 内容。 目标 2：试点研究。所开发的干预措施将在小学的随机对照试验中进行尝试 与对照组儿童相比，之前从未看过该游戏的参加课外活动的儿童 参加相同的课外活动，但没有接受学习游戏干预的人。测试前和测试后 将通过使用紫外线荧光墨水的洗手试验、图像捕捉来测试手部卫生技术的改进 洗过的手的数量，以及洗后残留墨水的量化。 潜在客户包括课外项目、学区以及儿科和家庭医学诊所， 寻求有效的手部卫生感染控制措施，节省提供者或教师的时间，并针对两者 英语和西班牙语学生及其家人。
