This article presents a meta-analysis of the literature related to masking and personal protective equipment policies during the COVID-19 pandemic using PROGRESS-Plus, an equity framework. The included literature was assessed using the PROGRESS-Plus equity framework to determine the extent to which equity was considered during policy development. Overall, 212 policy documents were reviewed as part of this analysis, and only two out of the 212 included the concept of equity or disparity in the policy.
