Psychological factors associated with wearing a facemask could be targets for interventions aiming to alter rates of wearing a facemask. These interventions may be more effective when there are no legal obligations to wear a face covering in place.PMID:37537895 | DOI:10.1111/bjhp.12684 (Source: British Journal of Health Psychology)
