Study Summary

This trial will test how well a new, transparent surgical mask works compared to a conventional one.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who can read and communicate in English or American Sign Language, with no health conditions like severe asthma that would prevent safe use of an N95 respirator. Participants must provide their own transport to the study site.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares perceptions of a new transparent surgical N95 mask (FaceView Mask™) versus a conventional one. After fitting the masks, participants will answer questions about fit, comfort, ease of use, and communication benefits.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct side effects from participating in this trial as it involves wearing different types of masks and providing feedback rather than testing a medical treatment.
