Mask-wearing intention after the removal of the mandatory mask-wearing requirement in Hong Kong: application of the protection motivation theory and the theory of planned behaviour
The findings indicate that attitude towards continued mask-wearing was the strongest predictor of mask-wearing intention, followed by subjective norms and perceived self-efficacy. Insights from this study may inform public health policymaking regarding mask-wearing practices in future health crises.
