In 2020 the Centers for Disease Control provided the public with recommendations to slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask in the community. In the current study, experimenters coached group home staff via telehealth to implement synchronous schedules of reinforcement to increase mask wearing for 5 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Results showed the intervention effectively increased mask wearing for all participants for up to 30 min. Additionally, some participants for whom we assessed generalization of mask wearing demonstrated generalization to various community environments. Furthermore, procedural integrity data suggested staff could be coached via telehealth to implement the intervention, and staff surveys suggested the procedures and coaching were socially valid.

使用同步强化来增加智力和发育障碍成年人的面罩佩戴

2020 年，疾病控制中心向公众提供了通过在社区戴口罩来减缓 COVID-19 传播的建议。在当前的研究中，实验者通过远程医疗指导小组家庭工作人员实施同步强化计划，以增加 5 名智力和发育障碍成年人的面罩佩戴。结果显示，该干预有效地增加了所有参与者的口罩佩戴时间长达 30 分钟。此外，我们评估了戴口罩泛化的一些参与者展示了对各种社区环境的泛化。此外，程序完整性数据表明可以通过远程医疗指导员工实施干预措施，员工调查表明程序和指导在社会上是有效的。
