Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper discussing the use of waterless hand sanitizer and the risks it creates relative to increased bacterial resistance. The paper provides a "fear grid" resulting from asking 25 people if they see any risk in using hand sanitizers on a regular basis for general use. The individuals questioned were all students in some biology-related field, who could be expected to have some knowledge of how bacteria can be spread from one person to another as well as at least general knowledge of how adaptable bacteria are. More than half (n=14) placed the risk at level 5 or below, and only two see any significant threat. It is reasonable to assume that the general public would see even less risk. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
washing always is an issue in restaurants, health care settings, daycare facilities and other settings where the risk of passing "something" from one person to many others is a possibility.
We all know that hand washing is something that needs to be done before eating, after bathroom trips and after having much physical contact with other people such as
shaking hands with several people. It is an activity that often is overlooked, however. It may be inconvenient, or those with need for frequent hand washing may feel
that they do little else. The advent of waterless hand sanitizers seemed to be a highly effective solution. Daycare workers, food handlers
and health care professionals could clean their hands much more conveniently and were not tied to a sink for the entire time. A squirt of sanitizer could be gathered
and the individual could be cleaning his hands as he also moved from one activity to another. The Risk There have been those
arguing against the ubiquitous use of hand sanitizers and even antibacterial soap for years (Zhang, 2005). Hospitals and patients physicians have been dealing with increased bacterial resistance for some
time; there is now a class of staphylococcus bacteria that is resistant to all known antibiotics and has been blamed for the death of many hospital patients acquiring staph infection
while hospitalized for conditions that did not include bacterial infection when they were admitted to the hospital (Gawande, 2004). Some continuing-education programs designed
to raise awareness of the ease with which individuals can spread "germs" to others - or pick up germs from others - have turned to an activity common in daycare
