Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In March 2012, the investigators initiated a prospective, cluster-randomized, controlled field trial in Kisumu County, located in an area in western Kenya which has the highest under-five mortality rate in Kenya with 149 childhood deaths per 1,000 live births 9. The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of an antimicrobial hand towel (hereafter referred to as towel) in preventing diarrheal diseases, acute respiratory infections, self-reported fever, and skin infections in children \<2 years old.
