High Speed Hand Washing helps build healthy habits

(Article begins on page 63.) Incorporating proper hand washing before consuming food samples in nutrition education lessons takes time and is therefore not prioritized. A fourth grade “High Speed Hand-Washing” lesson plan was developed and taught. Classrooms can get their hands washed properly in five minutes or less with this simple, inexpensive technique, increasing food safety and, reducing risk of communicable diseases. Improved classroom handwashing led to overall improvement in proper handwashing. Post, then pre-surveys were administered to 1697 fourthgraders during 2011-2013. In a two-year average, 82.6% improved frequency of proper hand washing or always washed their hands properly before touching or eating food.
