It looks to me as if the key factors were (a) focusing attention and then (b) building on success, which I speculate (c) reinforced motivation through pride in meeting ideals and the sense of solidarity from doing it as a team.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-36755992668355867892012-02-09T11:40:05.653-05:002012-02-09T11:40:05.653-05:00Very interesting study.

We have a system of anonymous monitoring and interestingly, our handwashing monitors are always reporting close to 100% compliance which I highly doubt. I would gues advertising the results may play a bigger role than the actual policing. People don't realize how often we forget to wash hands even when we believe it is effective. You have to make people realize how bad we really are or advertise how bad we really are.

Both my wife and I have done research in India. We have visited India many times and treasure our friends there. <br /><br />Your point is excellent. Hand washing is a very basic human function. When I was a child polio was still an epidemic, and I remember how strict my parents were about hand washing. In U.S. health facilities now it's common to have signs that emphasize how washing hands can decrease the spread of influenza.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-9183931999184298952012-02-08T23:43:13.836-05:002012-02-08T23:43:13.836-05:00Hay Jim, your 50 years of experience shows with th...Hay Jim, your 50 years of experience shows with the great articles here, this is my first visit and a doctor from India. I do agree that hand wash is most important then any, you normally do every activity with hands and having them cleaned after every work so important, many infant baby's have habit of putting there fingers in mouth, which the mother should be very careful. When we are very hungry we forget most of the time washing hands. I almost advice all my patience to keep this practice. Thanks so much for the helpful pack of article and am have bookmarked..Keep them coming Jim, <br /><br />---!@boseBosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09850162650223557313noreply@blogger.com
