Abstract Background Low absolute humidity (AH) has been associated with increased influenza virus survival and transmissibility the onset of seasonal outbreaks. Humidification indoor environments may mitigate viral transmission be an important control strategy, particularly in schools where is common contributes to spread communities. However, variability predictors AH school environment feasibility classroom humidification levels that could decrease have not studied. Methods Automated...
Influenza is a global problem infecting 5–10% of adults and 20–30% children annually. Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are attractive approaches to complement vaccination in the prevention reduction influenza. Strong cyclical absolute humidity has been associated with influenza outbreaks temperate climates. This study tested hypothesis that raising above seasonal lows would impact virus survival transmission key source distribution, community school. Air samples objects handled by...
Background: School-based campaigns to improve student health have demonstrated short-term success across various topics. However, evidence of the effectiveness programs in promoting healthy beliefs and behaviors is limited. We hypothesized that educational curricula teaching science behind promotion would increase knowledge, adherence behaviors, this case related influenza. Methods: Integrated Science Education Outreach a successful education intervention Rochester, Minnesota public schools...
