Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to conduct a cross-sectional survey to investigate how people's lifestyle decisions and social distancing choices are affected by the medical information they receive. The hypothesis is that a positive COVID-19 test result will lead to study participants having the greatest self-isolation intentions compared to those who are only clinically diagnosed for COVID-19 without a confirmatory diagnostic test result or those who receive a negative COVID-19 test result.

Study Arms (3)
Testing Unavailable Group
EXPERIMENTALThis arm will complete an online survey where they will be presented a vignette asking them to imagine they have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, a physician telling them they likely have COVID-19, but that COVID-19 testing is not available. All arms will then be asked to fill out the same questions regarding behavior intentions and demographic questions. All participants will have completed five construct questions based off of Theory of Planned Behavior/Reason Action Approch during the pre-test survey.
Positive Test Result
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis arm will complete an online survey where they will be presented a vignette asking them to imagine they have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, a physician telling them they likely have COVID-19, and a positive COVID-19 test result. All arms will then be asked to fill out the same questions regarding behavior intentions and demographic questions. All participants will have completed five construct questions based off of Theory of Planned Behavior/Reason Action Approch during the pre-test survey.
Negative Test Result
PLACEBO COMPARATORThis arm will complete an online survey where they will be presented a vignette asking them to imagine they have symptoms consistent with COVID-19, a physician telling them they likely have COVID-19, and a negative COVID-19 test result. All arms will then be asked to fill out the same questions regarding behavior intentions and demographic questions. All participants will have completed five construct questions based off of Theory of Planned Behavior/Reason Action Approch during the pre-test survey.
Interventions
Participants will be asked to imagine that they have tested positive (PCR) for an active COVID-19 infection and that their physician has clinically diagnosed them with COVID-19.
Participants will be asked to imagine that they have tested negative (PCR) for an active COVID-19 infection.
Participants will be asked to imagine that testing is not available for active COVID-19 infections but that their physician has clinically diagnosed them with COVID-19.
