Primary Outcomes (End Points) Percent of participants who respond to each message, and who answer quiz questions correctly. Percent of participants who opt in to receive information on coronavirus.
Experimental Design (Public) Further study information will be released after data collection has been completed to avoid the possibility of demand effects. Further study information will be released after data collection has been completed to avoid demand effects.
Planned Number of Clusters 1,000 participants. Note the number of participants will be a function of two screening criteria: Whether the messages that participants come up with violate five rules described in the survey body, and whether the participants pass all four (pre-randomization) survey screening questions. At least 1,650 participants (messages) after applying screening criteria.
Planned Number of Observations Approximately 2,000 messages (before screening criteria are applied). The messages will be distributed to at least 1,650*25=41,250 numbers.
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms Approximately 330 messages per condition (for main randomizations, before screening criteria are applied). Approximately 550 messages per condition after applying screening criteria.
