Abstract
The research hypothesis states there is a statistically significant difference in how Covid-19 affected the hand hygiene habits of healthcare majors and non-healthcare majors. The research study utilized survey which students completed at the cafeteria of a small liberal arts college in the southeastern United States. The population assessed were students who entered the cafeteria while the survey was being administered and agreed to complete the survey. The results of the survey determined there is no statistically significant difference in how Covid-19 affected the hand hygiene habits of healthcare majors and non-healthcare majors. An important implication for the healthcare majors is improving hand hygiene knowledge and practices. Recommendations for further research includes lengthening the data collection time to increase the sample size, increasing the number of locations where the survey is administered, and attempt to create a more equal number of responses from the two subgroups.
