Abstract

We conducted a cluster-randomized trial to measure the effect of community-level mask distribution and promotion on symptomatic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in rural Bangladesh from November 2020 to April 2021 (N = 600 villages, N = 342,183 adults). We cross-randomized mask type (cloth versus surgical) and promotion strategies at the village and household level. Proper mask-wearing increased from 13.3% in the control group to 42.3% in the intervention arm (adjusted percentage point difference = 0.29; 95% confidence interval = [0.26, 0.31]). The intervention reduced symptomatic seroprevalence (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.91 [0.82, 1.00]), especially among adults ≥60 years old in villages where surgical masks were distributed (adjusted prevalence ratio = 0.65 [0.45, 0.85]). Mask distribution with promotion was a scalable and effective method to reduce symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04630054.

Impact of intervention on mask use and biological outcomes.
The figure shows the raw means of mask-wearing (left), COVID-19 symptoms (middle), and symptomatic seropositivity (right) in the control and treatment arms. The estimated change in each outcome, confidence intervals, and p values adjust for preregistered covariates (and thus are not computable from the raw values). Individuals who were symptomatic but did not consent to blood collection were dropped from the sample; measured symptomatic seropositivity thus understates the true fraction of the population that was symptomatic seropositive.
