상세 설명
This study will recruit children ages 6-11 and adults ages 18-65 living in the Atlanta/Metro-Atlanta area.
Participants will be randomly assigned to wear one of four different masks. These masks are created by combining one of two different kinds of fabric (flannel or twill) and one of two attachment devices (elastic ear loops or fabric ties). Additionally, adult participants will be randomly assigned to wear the mask while walking on a treadmill at either 1.5 mph or 3.0 mph. While wearing each mask, participants will perform the following sequence of activities: In a normal standing position, participants will 1) breathe normally (without talking), 2) breathe slowly and deeply, taking caution so as not to hyperventilate, 3) slowly turn his/her head from side to side between the extreme positions on each side, 4) slowly move his/her head up and down, inhaling in the up position (i.e., when looking toward the ceiling), 5) count up from 0-20 loudly and slowly, 6) grimace by smiling or frowning, 7) bend at the waist as if he/she were to touch his/her toes, and 8) breathe normally (without talking). Each activity will be performed for 1 minute, except for the grimace exercise, which will be performed for 15 seconds.
During the first two activities, the researcher will hold a mirror at each edge of the mask (nose, cheeks, and chin) to monitor whether there is fogging on the mirror. For the rest of the exercises, the researchers will note whether the mask lost its fit (e.g., slipping off the nose or face). Between activities, participants will be told to re-adjust the mask.
In the second phase of research activities, participants will walk on a treadmill while wearing their randomly assigned mask. Adult participants will be assigned to a specific speed on the treadmill with no incline, either 1.5 mph, the 'light' activity level, or 3 mph, the 'moderate' activity level. Child participants will only walk at 1.5 mph. Participants will walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes. Prior to the treadmill activity, the researcher will clip a probe to the participant's ear lobe that will measure transcutaneous carbon dioxide (CO2) (i.e., non-invasively) and pulse rate continuously during the performance of all physical activities. Prior to the treadmill activity, participants will rate the comfort of the mask. Near the end of the activity, participants will their perceived exertion and again rate the comfort of the mask. During the activity, participants will be free to adjust their masks as often as needed to maintain comfort and fit. The researcher will tally the frequency at which each participant adjusts their mask and the number of times that the mask lost its fit (e.g., slipping off the nose or face) and was not adjusted. Participants will complete a post-experiment questionnaire following all activities.

Change in Effect of masks textile types and designs on user discomfort
기간: Before treadmill and after treadmill use (15 minutes)
|
In order to better understand the effectiveness of different cloth masks for source control, the research team will assess the usability of the optimal masks through simulations by measuring comfort by using the optimal combinations of head suspension and mask designs.
Participants will rate the discomfort of the mask they come in wearing and then rate the discomfort of the test mask they wear during the study after walking on a treadmill.
Participants will answer the Discomfort of Cloth Masks-12 (DCM-12) scale which is comprised of 12 questions.
For each item, there are four choices that correspond to four levels of discomfort: 1 (not at all), 2 (a little bit), 3 (somewhat), 4 (very much so).
Items 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, and 12 will be used to obtain a subscale-score for breathability-related discomfort.
Items 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11 will be used to obtain a subscale-score for tightness-related discomfort.
A higher score reflects a higher discomfort.
