Production and Evaluation of an Evidence-based Health Awareness Video on Precautionary Measures Against Respiratory Infectious Diseases (HAV-RID Study)
Sponsor: Lebanese American University
Summary
Health awareness videos are integral in disseminating knowledge about respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs). The aim of this study is to produce and evaluate an evidence-based health awareness video on precautionary measures against respiratory infectious diseases among public transportation drivers in Lebanon. You will be asked to watch a newly produced health-awareness video, then we will test your knowledge about respiratory infectious diseases , health-risk perceptions, attitude towards vaccination, and cognitive dissonance. Public transportation drivers are eligible to enroll if they operate within the Lebanese public transportation system, regardless of their gender. A proportionate sample of drivers will be invited to enroll from various Lebanese regions. The experimental group (n=80) will watch a health-awareness video, whereas the control group (n=80) will watch a neutral video on traffic signs. Participants' knowledge about RID, health-risk perceptions, attitude towards vaccination, and cognitive dissonance will be evaluated. The trial study will be conducted in community settings where public transportation drivers are naturally present (transportation stations, parking lots). A written informed consent will be sought. Data will be electronically recorded. Data will remain anonymous during data entry/analyses. An incentive will be provided.

Health awareness video on precautionary measures against respiratory infectious disease
Drafting of a narrative blueprint of the script for the health-awareness video is inspired by published and unpublished evidence-based studies previously conducted on public transportation drivers in Lebanon. This ensures the video content is evidence-based, culturally oriented, socially acceptable and tailored towards the target viewers. Using a Delphi technique, the script will be revised by a panel of experts in public health, infection control, psychology, filmmaking, and public transportation (drivers, users, stakeholders). Experts will evaluate the script using two validated assessment tools, the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) and DISCERN. Once consensus is reached, the video will be produced.
