This project will study whether videos showing a person with DS washing his hands correctly
can improve hand washing by other adults with DS.
The subjects will be recruited and identified and consented. Subjects will be randomized to
one of 4 groups.
i. Verbal instructions on hand washing with pictures (using the Illinois department of public
health tools) ii. Verbal instructions on hand washing and video of the ADSC iii. Verbal
instructions on hand washing and video of an adult without DS washing his hands iv. Verbal
instructions on hand washing and video of an adult with DS washing his hands.
Videos of the handwashing process will be taken pre intervention and then again post
intervention.
Scoring assessments will be completed upon review of the 2 files by 2 separate study team
members, the second of which will be blinded to the information they will be reviewing.
