Evidence (2024-09-25): Recommendations [edit]The use of face masks or coverings by the general public has been recommended by health officials to minimize the risk of transmissions, with authorities either requiring their use in certain settings, such as on public transport and in shops, or universally in public. [...] Helene-Mari van der Westhuizen et al. state that successful implementation of public masking policies, especially in communities that have no cultural traditions for such interventions, requires a reframing of social meanings and moral worth, and that public messages help to conceptualize who typically wear masks and what the moral valence of masking is.[264] They note that the earliest members who wear face coverings may be seen as deviant when the community starts to adopt masking, but that changing narratives will generate new meanings that construe those who do not mask as deviant.[264] Their argument is that public health messaging about face coverings should shift from masks as a medical intervention to masks as a social practice based on values such as social responsibility and solidarity, as a successful uptake requires face coverings to be grounded in the social and cultural realities of affected communities.[264] Clemens Eisenmann and Christian Meyer argue that the question, how the meaning of wearing face masks develops in society, depends on their practical and public uses within everyday social interactions.[265] They explain that masking has destabilized interactional infrastructures embedded in routines, revealing both taken-for-granted infrastructures of everyday life – including social inequalities (such as those of

Evidence (2021-02-17): This study reports a comprehensive empirical investigation of the nature and correlates of anti-mask attitudes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accumulating evidence underscores the importance of facemasks, as worn by the general public, in limiting the spread of infection. Accordingly, mask wearing has become increasingly mandatory in public places such as stores and on public transit. Although the public has been generally adherent to mask wearing, a small but vocal group of individuals refuse to wear masks. Anti-mask protest rallies have occurred in many places throughout the world, sometimes erupting violently. Few empirical studies have examined the relationship between anti-mask attitudes and mask non-adherence and little is known about how such attitudes relate to one another or other factors (e.g., non-adherence to social distancing, anti-vaccination attitudes). To investigate these issues, the present study surveyed 2,078 adults from the US and Canada. Consistent with other surveys, we found that most (84%) people wore masks because of COVID-19. The 16% who did not wear masks scored higher on most measures of negative attitudes towards masks. [...] Morning Consult. In April, half of the public had worn a face mask in the past month.

Evidence (2023-01-09): In the end-of-follow-up survey, we asked the participants about their face mask use during the study period. Participants reported on face mask use by selecting one of six responses to the question ‘How often over the last 2 weeks have you used a face mask when you have been close to others outside your home?’ (1) Always; (2) Almost always (at least 75% of the time); (3) Often (50–75% of the time); (4) Sometimes (25–50% of the time); (5) A few times (up to 25% of the time); and (6) Never. [...] Data on face mask use were collected in the end-of-follow-up survey; therefore, all participants who did not respond to this survey are excluded from the analysis. We analyse the data using only complete cases as the number of participants who responded to the face mask question and those who did not respond to other survey questions was small (n = 23, 0.7%).
