When you go to the grocery store, you may still see people walking around without masks. However, a new study from UNC found these people may just need a little positive reinforcement. The study was a collaboration between the Hussman School of Journalism and Media, the Carolina Population Center and the Gillings School of Global Public Health. 

Kyra Miles spoke with Victoria Shelus, a doctoral student at Gillings and co-leader of the study.
