Despite the fact that the use of masks and respirators in adults has already reached a consensus in almost all countries and for situations in which they are recommended, this is not the case for the use of mask by children. This statement, regarding the usage of mask by children, has been jointly produced by the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP). It provides recommendations on the size of the mask, the material and ergonomics of children's masks. The authors also discuss the psychological dimension of children when they are asked to wear a mask. Moreover, they tackle the difficulties of children with disabilities.
尽管在几乎所有国家，对于成年人使用口罩和呼吸器以及在何种推荐情况下使用已达成共识，但儿童使用口罩的情况并非如此。关于儿童使用口罩的这一声明是由欧洲区域公共卫生学院协会（ASPHER）和欧洲儿科学会（EAP）联合发布的。它提供了关于口罩尺寸、儿童口罩材料和人体工程学方面的建议。作者们还讨论了儿童被要求佩戴口罩时的心理层面。此外，他们还探讨了残疾儿童面临的困难。
