"Centers assigned to the intervention group were provided with ABHS dispensers with a gel solution with ethyl alcohol at 62% as active ingredient (Purell®, GOJO Industries, Dayton, Ohio). A total of 85 dispensers were installed, one dispenser was installed in each center of size less than 14 children, and one per classroom plus an additional one for common areas in centers with more than 28 children. Proper safety measures were followed.~Standardized ABHS training workshops for staff and children in centers allocated to the intervention were carried out simultaneously with dispenser installation. Thirty minute refresher sessions about ABHS technique were provided to staff and children on a monthly basis, for a total of 8 sessions per center."
