School absences related to illness have major impacts on school funding, parental work schedules, teacher availability, academic performance and ultimately the community as a whole. It has been reported that in 2003, the common cold cost Americans over $40 billion dollars annually, not including the money spent on over the counter medications or physician visits treating said illness ("Common Cold," 2011). The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has estimated that missed school days' account for $22 million of losses per year and an additional $25 billion in lost productivity in the United States ("Common Cold," 2011). This figure does not appreciate the cost of other transmittable diseases such as gastrointestinal illnesses, conjunctivitis, or influenza. Elementary schools have long been thought to be a hot bed of preventable transmittable diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) has publicly stated the best way to prevent the spread of disease is frequent and effective hand hygiene (Larson, Cohen, & Baxter, 2012). The introduction of a hand hygiene program, primarily the use of an alcohol based gel has been shown to significantly reduce school absences related to illness. Public schools are reimbursed and given funding based on the number of students who attend full days of school (greater than 4 hours). When students miss school because of illness, schools are left with less funding ultimately affecting long term outcomes and education goals.
