The World Health Organization and the United States Center for Disease Control have been in the forefront of efforts to educate people regarding this very important topic. As a nurse, every day that I am on the job, I teach patients about appropriate hand hygiene as well as practicing these techniques myself. Medical research has proven that the simple task of carrying out hand washing rituals in a methodical, organized and timely manner, greatly reduces the spread of disease. However, despite years of knowledge and studies attesting to the effectiveness of this simple task in improving our health, there continues to be a serious deficit in the number of people who habitually practice proper hand-washing. One of the more recent studies on the subject was done by Michigan State University researchers in 2013. Lead researcher, Professor Carl Borchgrevink stated in the Journal of Environmental Health article, “Hand Washing Practices in a College Town Environment” (2013) that only 5% of the 3,749 participants in the study were practicing proper hand
