Yes, washing your hands does make sense. If only the germs we carry were as obvious as in this video. Hopefully more videos will help healthcare professionals realize the large image a small behaviour change can make.

    While I appreciate the impact that this video is trying to make, I find its message (It just makes sense!) simplistic. We need a far more sophisticated approach to hand hygiene, one that takes account of the role of identity into current practice. Did anyone notice that the health practitioner is male?

    Thanks Rick! I definitely agree addressing poor behaviour is hardly as easy as awareness and knowledge. The 20 pounds I gained during grad school is evidence of that. Hopefully visual and compelling messages will help change culture and social norms as we build strong behavioural interventions too!

    Great website by the way!

    Such a simple idea but not always done. It can really protect against the spreading of germs.
