Abstract
We study whether mentioning that a study is about COVID-19 vaccination leads to sample selection. We will randomly allocate participants to a condition where the consent form mentions that the study is about COVID-19 vaccination or to a condition without this information. After the consent form, we ask participants about COVID-19 vaccination behaviors. We will hence be able to understand whether telling participants that the research study is about COVID-19 vaccination impacts vaccination attitudes.

Randomization Method
Randomization is done by a computer
Randomization Unit
Randomization is done at the individual level
Was the treatment clustered?
No

Experiment Characteristics

Sample size: planned number of clusters
1000 individuals
Sample size: planned number of observations
1000 individuals
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms
500 individuals in each of the two treatment arms
Minimum detectable effect size for main outcomes (accounting for sample design and clustering)
Following our power calculations, 1,000 participants would give us 80% power to detect an effect size of 0.2 standard deviations.
