Summary

This study tests a web-based animated story (scrollytelling) to help adults understand why public health guidelines change. About 525 people will be split into three groups: one sees a story about nutrition advice changes, another about infectious disease guidelines, and a third sees nothing. The goal is to see if the tool reduces distrust in experts and improves understanding of how science evolves.
