COVID-19 vaccine social media campaign exposure

A series of animated video clips will be promoted through Facebook Ads and randomized at the individual level across Facebook users throughout the entire country. To investigate the effectiveness of Mayan language content, we are testing three treatment arms - visually identical videos in the 1) Spanish, 2) K'iche', and 3) Kaqchikel languages. The videos are visually identical and follow the same audio script, translated into the three focal language. Local voiceover artists were used to record the scripts in the three languages. A control group that is not exposed to any of the social media campaign content will serve as active comparator to allow for comparison of outcomes with treatment arms.
