Supervisor: Dr. Michelle Science (Division of Infectious Diseases, Child Health Evaluative Sciences)Project: "The Pediatric Mask Fit Study: Comparing the performance of cloth masks, procedure masks (with and without modifications) and respirators in children."The primary objective of this project is to compare the performance of different mask types (cloth and medical / procedure) and respirators in children. We also aim to identify mask modifications that improve mask fit for children and also evaluate the comfort and acceptability of different masks, mask modifications, and respirators as experienced by children. Here, I serve as a collaborator, knowledge user, and student representative. I provide input into study design, participant recruitment, and knowledge translation as well.To learn more about my work at SickKids, please email thomas.liang@sickkids.ca!
