Paper Abstract This article examines the effects of embedding a link to an informational video in an email inviting people to participate in an online survey. A sample of 28,510 Danish parents of 15,000 children received an email invitation to participation in a nation-wide survey about their child and family. Clustered at the individual child level, we randomly assigned each parent couple to either a control group (CG) or one of two treatment groups. Parents in the CG received a typical survey invitation email. Parents in the two treatment groups received the same email—but with one important distinction: The email also included a link to an informational video of a researcher emphasizing the social significance of the survey and the value of the individual’s participation.
