Who can join
Adults 18 to 42, male only, with Staphylococcus Aureus or MRSA Skin Infections. Healthy volunteers can join.
What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Incidence of Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (SSTI)
Time frame: At the end of the 20 month study -
Incidence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)-Associated SSTI
Time frame: At the end of the 20 month study
Sponsor's own description
This cluster-randomized prospective study will evaluate the effect of hygiene-based intervention strategies on the incidence of overall SSTI and MRSA-associated SSTI among military trainees. The proposed interventions used singly or in combination include standardized training and education, and weekly chlorhexidine showers.
