AB  - Acute  viral  gastroenteritis  is  the  most  common  cause  of  vomiting  and  diarrhea  in  children  and  continues  to  account  for  over  500,000  deaths  globally  each  year  in  children  <5  years  old.1  Transmission  of  GI  infections  can  be  reduced  by  attention  to  good  hand  washing,  which  can  reduce  the  incidence  of  diarrheal  disease  by  approximately  30%  in  both  high-  and  low-income  countries.2  The  provision  of  alcohol-based  hand  sanitizer  and  educational  materials  can  reduce  GI  illnesses  in  child  care  centers,3  and  a  multifactorial  intervention  including  hand  sanitizer  and  surface  disinfection  similarly  reduces  illness  due  to  enteric  pathogens  in  elementary  school  students.4
