### 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.

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.
