论文摘要
手卫生是世界卫生组织（WHO）提出的关键的低成本措施之一，以遏制COVID-19的传播。在2020年6月和2020年7月在瑞士大流行期间进行的现场研究中，我们捕获了一家大型零售连锁店的五家商店中客户的手动消毒行为（n = 8,245）。这项研究揭示了在性别和年龄方面的差异：与男性相比，女性的双手消毒可能性更高8.3个百分点。关于年龄，我们确定了年龄段的急剧增长，年龄较大60岁及以上的人比年轻人（> +16.7个百分点）和青年（>+ 31.7个百分点）更频繁地消毒。一项在2020年12月进行的验证研究（n = 1,918）证实了大流行的后点的性别差异。总而言之，性别和年龄段之间的差异是很大的，应在设计措施的设计中考虑确保清洁和安全的手。
Hand hygiene is one of the key low-cost measures proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to contain the spread of COVID-19. In a field study conducted during the pandemic in June and July 2020 in Switzerland, we captured the hand disinfection behavior of customers in five stores of a large retail chain (n = 8,245). The study reveals considerable differences with respect to gender and age: Women were 8.3 percentage points more likely to disinfect their hands compared to men. With respect to age, we identified a steep increase across age groups, with people age 60 years and older disinfecting their hands significantly more often than younger adults (>+16.7 percentage points) and youth (>+ 31.7 percentage points). A validation study conducted in December 2020 (n = 1,918) confirmed the gender and age differences at a later point in the pandemic. In sum, the differences between gender and age groups are substantial and should be considered in the design of protective measures to ensure clean and safe hands.
