You are invited to participate in a research study of early childcare workers. We’re conducting a study to learn about infection prevention and cleaning practices in early childcare settings. The goal is to understand what childcare providers know about congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and how these practices may affect children’s hearing and overall development. Participants will participate in a short interview session asking questions about their general experiences working in a childcare setting.
Participants must have worked in early childcare within the last year and be 18 years of age or older. Volunteers will be invited to participate in an interview session lasting no more than 45 minutes.
