Summary

This study tested two short digital videos designed to encourage COVID-19 vaccination among 1,419 adults with anxiety or depression who were not up to date on their shots. One video used 'attitudinal inoculation' to build resistance to misinformation, and the other used techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address personal barriers. The goal was to see if either approach worked better than standard public health messages in getting people vaccinated within four weeks.
