Purpose

The CONFIDENT Study is an online three-arm randomized trial that aims to help long-term care workers in the United States feel more confident about the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. The study will compare two different interventions to usual online information (website of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The first intervention is a Dialogue-Based Webinar where people can interact and ask questions about the vaccines. The second intervention is a Social Media Website that will feature curated content about the vaccines from popular social media platforms. Participants will be asked to completed four online surveys. The first survey will be completed pre-intervention and immediately upon study enrollment (Time 0). Participants will be randomized to a trial arm at the end of the Time 0 survey. Intervention follow-up surveys will be completed 3 weeks post-randomization (Time 1), three months post-randomization (Time 2), and 6 months post-randomization (Time 3).
