Yeah, most people (including me) don’t apply multiple mL of hand sanitizer over every surface of their hands, then rub the hands together until it dries completely (which takes around 20 seconds).
If children washing their hand in Spanish daycares looks like “regular person use”, then this study found hand sanitizer to be more effective.
(Though I can’t tell how much more carefully supervised the children using hand sanitizer were; there’s a paragraph that sort of suggests this-”The HSG children were supervised by DCC staff and parents when using the hand sanitizer, and in the case of young children, it was administered by DCC staff and parents. The CG followed usual hand-washing procedures.”- and that might explain the whole difference, since it’s not that dramatic.)

I’d really like to see effectiveness differences between the gold standard and “regular person use”.
