University students' cough etiquette (CE) was observed and compared with the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Contrary to the CDC's recommendations, most students covered their mouth with their hands (53.3%) or did not cover at all (23.5%). Less than one-quarter of students used a sleeve arm, elbow, or tissue as advised by the CDC. Sex analysis revealed women were more likely to use a hand cover than men, whereas men were twice as likely to sneeze or cough into the air. Future research to study and improve student CE is encouraged.
观察了大学生的咳嗽礼仪（CE），并与疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的标准进行了比较。与CDC的建议相反，大多数学生用手捂住嘴（53.3%）或根本不捂嘴（23.5%）。不到四分之一的学生按照CDC的建议使用袖子、手臂、肘部或纸巾。性别分析显示，女性比男性更有可能用手捂住嘴，而男性向空气中打喷嚏或咳嗽的可能性是女性的两倍。鼓励未来开展研究以研究和改善学生的咳嗽礼仪。
