COVID-19 myth-busting: an experimental study.
Aimée ChallengerPetroc SumnerLewis BottPublished in: BMC public health (2022)
Our results imply that COVID-19 myths can be effectively corrected using materials and formats typical of health campaigns. Campaign designers can use our results to choose between correction formats. When myth belief was high, question-answer format was more effective than a fact-only format immediately post-intervention, and after delay, more effective than fact-myth format.
