Title: Prevention of Secondary Transmission of Human Influenza by Promoting Handwashing With Soap: The Bangladesh Interruption of Secondary Transmission of Influenza Study (BISTIS)
Brief Summary: The next influenza pandemic is expected to spread rapidly in resource-poor settings. Influenza viruses spread from human-to-human via large respiratory droplets. Transmission via large-particle respiratory droplets is believed to be mediated by close contact between infected and susceptible persons or contact with droplet-contaminated fomites. Close contact between infected and susceptible persons may consist of skin-to-skin contact (e.g., via hands) or inhalation of respiratory droplets (e.g., due to talking, coughing, or sneezing by the infected person). Airborne transmission, which is expected to result in transmission over long distances (\>1 meter) and which would be mediated by ventilation, is believed to be uncommon. Therefore, the greatest risk of transmission from personal contact comes from those people who are closest to an index case, such as contacts living in the same household. There are, to date, no published estimates of the secondary attack ratio of influenza among household contacts of index case-patients in low-income countries. Moreover, the investigators do not have data on the risk factors for secondary transmission of influenza from index case-patients to their household contacts. There is some data for the benefits of promoting handwashing with soap on the risk of all-cause acute respiratory illness among children \< 15 years old in a resource-poor setting in Pakistan. But, the investigators do not have evidence that promoting handwashing with soap will acutely reduce the risk of secondary transmission. Therefore, the investigators propose to conduct a study in rural Bangladesh to assess the following:

* The secondary attack ratio of influenza among household contacts of an index case-patient with influenza
* The risk factors for secondary transmission of influenza from an index case-patient to household contacts
* The impact of promoting handwashing with soap on the risk of secondary transmission of influenza from an index case-patient to household contacts
* The impact of handwashing promotion on handwashing behavior six months after intervention
* The impact of handwashing promotion on the prevalence of respiratory infections, diarrhea and influenza


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria: Children between 0 and 3 years old enrolled in the aforementioned DCCs, attended the DCCs for at least 15 hours per week and whose parents/guardians had signed an informed consent document were included.

Exclusion Criteria: Children whit chronic illnesses or medication that could affect their likelihood of contracting an infection. Families who used hydroalcoholic gel prior to the start of the study and/or antiseptic soaps in the control group.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* aged from 15 to 20 years
* obtained written informed consent from both the student and parent before participation
* possible to gargle during 90 days
* possible to fill in questionnaire

Exclusion Criteria:

* Possessing allergy to green tea

* Persons \< 5 years old: any child with acute fever with onset within the previous 24 hours
* Return to home within 24 hours of presentation to Upazilla Health Complex, Jahurul Islam Medical College Hospital or the local pharmacies; i.e., the index case cannot be admitted for treatment. If admitted, the patient would not be eligible.
