Summary

This package contains replication data for: "Comparison of knowledge and intended behaviors following general COVID-19 public health messages and messages tailored for African American and Latinx communities: A randomized controlled trial." The data includes 1 raw dataset (except for removing a Zip code variable, as well as a free-response to prior medical conditions, for anonymity) containing data from one online Qualtrics survey that was conducted in 1 round with 15,475 observations from May 13, 2020 to May 24, 2020. The code, produced in R, contains both cleaning and analysis code. For further details on the data or how to run the code, please see the readme file. The abstract of the paper is as follows: Background: There is concern that the paucity of public health messages that directly address communities of color might contribute to racial ethnic disparities in COVID-19-related knowledge, behaviors, and outcomes. Objective: To determine if video public health messages differ in their influence, knowledge and intended behaviors of African American and Latinx individuals according to the race/ethnicity of the physician delivering the message and the content of the message. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: United States May 13 2020-May 24 2020 Participants: 14,267 self-identified African American or Latinx adults recruited via Lucid survey platform. Intervention: Participants viewed 3 video messages about COVID-19 that varied by physician race/ethnicity, acknowledgement of racism/inequality, and community perceptions of mask-wearing. Measurements: Knowledge gaps (measured by lack of recognition of key COVID-19 symptoms, preventive behaviors or asymptomatic transmission) and intended behavior, measured by links demanded for prevention information.
