Got Clean Hands? Help Us Study the Science Behind Hygiene

Researchers are seeking individuals aged 18 and older to participate in a hand hygiene study held at the Don Tyson Building, located north of the U of A campus.

This two-day study involves two sessions where participants will be trained on a hand hygiene procedure to assess the effectiveness of common hand hygiene agents for the inactivation of viruses on human hands.

Upon completion of both sessions, participants will be compensated with a $50 Amazon or Walmart gift card, per their preference.

Interested individuals are encouraged to complete the survey via the link below to determine eligibility. Selected participants will be contacted to confirm availability. This is an in-person study, and you will be required to be present to participate; however, you may withdraw at any time during the study.

You do not need to be a U of A student or employee to participate; everyone is welcome.

For any questions, please contact:

Thank you for considering participation in our study.
