Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

NORC/AmeriSpeak will recruit participants who meet the study criteria and invite them to complete a 15-minute survey. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of five conditions, with approximately 400 people in each condition, and will respond to various questions after viewing the study messaging. Once 2,000 participants complete the survey, the data will be de-identified and provided to the study team for analysis.
