摘要
A total of 320 children, aged 1 to 14 years were observed to ascertain the prevalence of face mask usage and the factors affecting the same. 67% of children used face masks, but only 25% of them used them correctly. Factors such as age, type of school, socioeconomic status, maternal education, history of allergic diseases, COVID vaccination status of the parents, and having a sibling were significantly associated with the use of face masks. Age-appropriate targeted health interventions should be implemented to improve proper mask usage.
