Denise Duijster e outros, 2020 · International Journal of Public Health
School-based group hygiene activities and WASH facilities did not significantly reduce children's dental plaque accumulation after four months.

Contexto
What changed: Primary schools received multi-user handwashing stations, soap, fluoride toothpaste, toilet maintenance kits, and daily teacher-led group hygiene sessions. Comparison: Control schools received information on national WASH policy but no infrastructure or consumables. Limits: The four-month duration may be too brief to establish weekend home routines, and some control schools implemented group activities independently.
