This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of different types of educational interventions on overcoming Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy among the Higher School of Economics (HSE) bachelor students in Russia.
The researchers aim to investigate the effectiveness of three types of educational interventions on overcoming COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among the HSE bachelor students. The study design implies the comparison of three types of educational interventions which differ in the message that they deliver to the participants: the personal, the social, and a combination of the two. The effects of these interventions will be compared to the control group with no intervention. Participants in these three experimental groups will receive a link to an educational video about the benefits and costs of vaccination against COVID-19. The videos for the three groups will contain information about vaccination, but each of them will have a different focus. The participants will be hired on a voluntary basis. All the participants will sign the informed consent form, and the measures will be taken to ensure that their personal data will be protected.
