Staph Intervention for Effective Local Defense

Sponsor: Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Summary

Indigenous persons experience a high burden of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) invasive disease and skin and soft tissue infections. SA carriage on the skin is factor for development of SA infections. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a community-informed approach to reduce carriage of SA. Participants will be assigned to education and household supplies for prevention of SA with and without a biomedical intervention. Researchers will compare SA carriage in the two groups.
