Evaluating N95 Respirator Designs: A Mixed-Methods Pilot and Feasibility Study

2025-07-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has had a global impact, underscoring the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE). The use of N95s reduces the risk of airborne infection; however, in the absence of equitable designs, health care workers (HCWs) who do not fit the average White male head and face are at an increased risk of airborne infec...
