COVID-19 Public Education Media Opinions Survey

Welcome

// Display OMB number and exp in the bottom right off all screens //
OMB No. XXXX-xxxx
Exp. Date xx/xx/xxxx

You have been selected to take this survey about COVID-19. The primary purpose of this survey is to help assess, among a large group of U.S. adults, perceptions of potential COVID-19 public education media that looks like what you would see in an advertisement. The survey will also assess experience and behaviors, and trusted information sources related to COVID-19.

Most people take about 20 minutes to complete the survey.

As mentioned, this survey will show you potential COVID-19 media and then ask you some questions about it. The media will require you to listen and/or view the media content—please make sure you have the volume of your device turned to a level that will allow you to hear the content clearly.

We also have some additional information available to you about this survey. Select the additional pages you would like to read below, if any. You will then be shown a privacy statement before proceeding with the survey.
