1 Getting it Right: Towards Responsible Social Media Use During a Pandemic (COVID-19)

In this protocol, we seek to examine the role of social media in information spread during a pandemic. As there have been few pandemics in the last decade (coinciding with the rise of social media), its use in this context remains understudied. This study hence intends to: (1) characterize the nature of social media use, (2) understand the impact of social media use, and (3) understand how to communicate accurate information.

Time: Twice: once during initial enrollment, and then 8 days after

Description: 1 item each day on fear specifically of the COVID-19 situation (measured on a 4 point scale: min = 1, max = 4; higher scores indicating greater fear about the outbreak).

Measure: Changes in fear with regards the COVID-19 situation across 1 week

Time: 1 week, starting from date after initial DASS survey completion

Description: 1 item each day on how much they thought about the outbreak that day (measured on a 5 point scale: min = 1, max = 5; higher scores indicating more thinking about the outbreak).
