Health (mis)information and COVID-19 vaccination

Using study data, we will assess associations between health information exposure and engagement in preventive behaviors. Using data collected at multiple timepoints, we will further determine whether changes in exposure to different types of information over time affect participant's participation in COVID-19 vaccination, as well as potential factors (ex. beliefs about COVID-19, participation in other preventive behaviors, intent to get a COVID-19 vaccination) that mediate this association. Findings from the proposed study will inform emerging literature on exposure to and effects of exposure to health (mis)information, as well as ongoing research seeking to aid in slowing the spread of COVID-19.
