Figure. Large Discrepancy in Self-reported vs Direct Observations of Mask Use Persists When Analyzed by Gender, Age, and Location.

Proportions estimated on sample of 1960 respondents who had been to a public place in the past 7 days and 9553 observations conducted in 71 villages and 10 market centers. Phone surveys were weighted by the probability of being selected for the phone interviews. Approximately 40% of the observed people were women vs almost 70% of the phone respondents were women. Panel B is restricted to participants with age data; no statistically significant differences found in mask use between participants with and without age data. Age and gender in direct observations were estimated by trained enumerators. Panel C also displays the respondents’ perceptions of mask use by their neighbors, which is represented by the diamond markers. Observations with missing data were omitted from analysis.
