This category included "masks," "face mask," "surgical mask," "respiratory protective devices," "personal protective device," "personal protective equipment," and "personal protective gear" as search terms. Another search set for "prevention and control of diseases" was created by screening articles for use of terms such as "disease outbreak," "cross infection," "disease transmission," "transmission," and "prevention and control." The mask terminology set was combined with the set on prevention and control of diseases.

What considerations would industry have as to whether there would be substantial enough market-driven demand for a reusable mask, or whether a government investment in these changes would be necessary PUBLIC WORKSHOPS The committee held two meetings over the course of the study to address the study charge, review the data collected, and develop the report. Both of those meetings included public sessions: January 2324, 2006, and March 68, 2006.

In preparation for the second workshop, the committee developed a set of tentative underlying assumptions that served as talking points during the second meeting. These tentative underlying assumptions were grouped into four broad categories that roughly paralleled the order of topics planned for discussion in the workshop: influenza transmission, respirators, medical masks, and reuse of respirators and medical masks.
