Experimental Design (Public) Targeted (video) ads: Control group: conventional ad for CWA (from actual Marketing campaign), includes info slogan about effectiveness of ad in stopping infection chains Treatment 1: feedback on local incidence rate on comparison with rest of state; the video makes the comparison salient and adds an injunctive norm Treatment 2: like Treatment 1, but additional appeals depending on whether comparison is favorable (maintain status quo) or unfavorable (call for change) Targeted (video) ads: Control group: conventional ad for CWA (from actual Marketing campaign), includes info slogan about effectiveness of ad in stopping infection chains Treatment 1: feedback on local incidence rate on comparison with rest of state; the video makes the comparison salient and adds an injunctive norm Treatment 2: like Treatment 1, but additional appeals depending on whether comparison is favorable (maintain status quo) or unfavorable (call for change) We furthermore add a survey measure of baseline take-up rate in a holdout group of Facebook users through a video ad poll. The poll is included to the contral group video, but there is no link.
Secondary Outcomes (Explanation) Treatment could in essence affect click rates through both the extensive margin (engaging with the ad) and the intensive margin (response to ad content). Video view metrics can help us disentangle the two, at least if selection effects are limited.
