Program Abstract:
In an effort to decrease the spread of communicable diseases on campus, the Wayne State University Campus Health Center collaborated with various university partners to implement a campus-wide Handwashing Campaign during the Winter 2018 semester. The timing of the campaign implementation strategically overlapped the growing concern of the ongoing Hepatitis A outbreak in Michigan, as well as the annual effort to stop the spread of influenza.
