Survey


INTRODUCTION

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this study today. Make sure you are comfortable and can read the screen from where you sit. The survey will include some audio, so please make sure the sound is on and the speaker volume is turned up.

This study will take about 30 minutes to complete. We ask you to please complete the study in one sitting (without taking any breaks) in order to avoid distractions.

This study is about a new prescription drug. The study has two parts: First, we will show you an advertisement about the new prescription drug. Then, we will ask you some questions about the drug.

On the next screen, you will see an advertisement for a new drug. The ad may take 15-30 seconds to start playing. Please click the Next button to view the ad.



[PROGRAMMER: Display ad correspondent to the participant’s experimental condition. Record duration of time spent watching ad and also time spent on each screen answering questions. Each ad should run twice. Also, please disable the “Next” button while each ad is playing to prevent participant from skipping ahead.]

We would like you to watch the ad a second time. Please click the Next button to view the ad.

[PROGRAMMER: Show ad twice.]



[NOTE: Items will be divided among several survey versions (for example pretest participants may not answer any validity items or moderator questions). All surveys will include a form A and form B, to randomly assign participants to groups of questions so that participants never answer a survey of more than 30 minutes in length]
