924+ ### Experiments
925+
926+ Wave 12 was initially launched to 15% of respondents to collect data for the
927+ experiments described below. (The remaining 85% continued to receive Wave 11.)
928+ After the experiments have been conducted and the data analyzed; the CTIS team
929+ will finalize the Wave 12 instrument to be distributed to the entire sample.
930+ Wave 12 will consist of three experiments with (1) demographic module placement,
931+ (2) vaccination uptake question, and (3) survey invitation text.
932+
933+ #### Demographic Module Placement and Vaccine Uptake Question
934+
935+ The 15% of respondents who receive the experimental Wave 12 will be divided into
936+ three groups:
937+
938+ * Group 1 (5% of respondents) will see the demographics questions after the
939+ symptom module, which concludes with question B2b “For how many days have you
940+ had at least one new or unusual symptom?” This group of respondents will see
941+ the Wave 11 version of the vaccine uptake question (V1).
942+ * Group 2 (5% of respondents) will see the demographics questions after the
943+ COVID vaccine module, which concludes with question V9 “How concerned are you
944+ that you would experience a side effect from a COVID-19 vaccination?” This
945+ group of respondents will see the Wave 11 version of the vaccine uptake
946+ question (V1).
947+ * Group 3 (5% of respondents) will see the experimental form of the vaccination
948+ uptake question (V1alt), which asks respondents “Do you personally know anyone
949+ who has received the COVID-19 vaccine already?” Response options include
950+ themselves, household members, and others. These respondents will not receive
951+ the previous vaccine uptake question, V1. They will see the demographic
952+ questions in the Wave 11 placement, at the end of Module A/B and before the
953+ occupation questions.
954+
955+ A new column ` w12_treatment ` in the microdata files will indicate which of the
956+ three groups above each respondent was assigned to.
957+
958+ #### Survey Invitation Text
959+
960+ Our partners at Facebook will also be conducting an experiment among those
961+ allocated to receive Wave 11. Among those participants, 6% will receive will
962+ receive one of six different invitations to the survey on their News Feed. This
963+ will be an internal Facebook experiment conducted with the goal of improving
964+ response rates and exploring additional non-response bias in the weighting
965+ process.
