ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how different types of videos can help encourage older adults to get vaccinated. Researchers want to find out if using only informational videos, personal story videos, or a mix of both can best motivate people aged 50 and older to receive their vaccines. The goal is to see which approach works best to improve vaccination rates among this age group.
To participate, you need to be at least 50 years old and live in the U.S. If you decide to join, you will watch these videos on your device and then complete a survey about your experience. It's important to note that if you don’t finish the survey or can’t watch the videos, you won’t be able to participate in the study. This trial is not yet open for recruitment, but it aims to find effective ways to increase vaccination among older adults, which is crucial for their health and well-being.
