We also just published a new article in
AAMCNews on the subject of masks, "
The science and psychology behind masking to prevent the spread of COVID-19," in which experts weigh in on the most effective mask-wearing practices, the psychology behind not masking, and how to communicate its importance.

Subject: Public health materials to encourage mask use?
As evidenced by the worsening spread of COVID-19, community compliance with mask wearing is disappointing in many areas of the country. Here are some examples of public health illustrations that I have come across recently. I hope that effective graphics like these help convey to the general public the importance of mask wearing.
Has anyone seen any other effective materials like this being used in your community?
