Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Quantity (present) x Quality (present)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive a social norm-based message (for quantity) and will learn the AIMS method, a trust-building method using presumptive language (for quality).
Group II: Quantity (present) x Quality (absent)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive a social norm-based message (for quantity).
Group III: Quantity (absent) x Quality (present)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will learn the AIMS method, a trust-building method using presumptive language (for quality).
Group IV: Quantity (absent) x Quality (absent)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Control: Participants in this condition will receive general information about vaccines, including vaccine principles, uptake barriers, and guidelines. This information will come directly from the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) website.
