If you want to know how we get people to comply with wearing face masks, ask a #sexologist. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😷" title="Gesicht mit Mundschutz" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Mundschutz">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👩🏼‍🏫" title="Woman teacher (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman teacher (mittelheller Hautton)"> It’s not our first rodeo when it comes to convincing people they should wear a barrier for protection from a deadly virus. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🦠" title="Microbe" aria-label="Emoji: Microbe">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💁🏼‍♀️" title="Frau verrät sich (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau verrät sich (mittelheller Hautton)">

Here’s what we’ve learned from 4 decades of research on #condom use:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> You can’t shame, guilt, or judge people into compliance. Does not work.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Don’t lie. Don’t pretend wearing it doesn’t suck.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Normalize it. Make wearing the default, the norm.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Be consistent with the messaging. Schools, workplaces, government officials, health workers, and movie stars all need to be saying the same thing.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Make them accessible. They should be free or at cost. They should be distributed in communities so wearing it is as easy as possible.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Teach people to keep one on their person, in their purse, car, by their front door, etc. Having one on hand greatly increases the likelihood it will be used.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Be honest, but not fear-based, about their risks of transmitting the virus without wearing one.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Help people learn the communication skills needed to talk to others they encounter who don’t want to wear one.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Target social marketing to different populations. A college student and a boomer will have very different reasons for non-compliance. Speak their language.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Violettes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Violettes Herz"> Improve their design to make them fit better and more comfortably.
