description Although handwashing prevents serious infectious diseases at low cost, only one in five people wash their hands after using the bathroom. This study presents an interdisciplinary, short-term and low-cost intervention aimed at promoting knowledge about handwashing in 10-year-old children and two pilot studies to assess its impact. In the 2016 pilot study, conducted in Puerto Iguazú city, the responses to a survey about handwashing of children who participated and did not participate in the intervention were compared. The intervention consisted in playful activities in which children were instructed in different aspects of handwashing. In the 2017 pilot, carried out in four locations in northern Argentina, the responses of children before and after the intervention were compared. The results of both pilot studies indicated that this intervention has the potential to promote knowledge about the steps needed to achieve proper hand washing.
