Reducing Eco-anxiety and Increasing Eco-action in Adolescents Using Selfie Videos: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
The purposes of this study are to test among adolescent viewers the utility of selfie (TikTok) short video-based interventions to:
1. Reduce ecological anxiety,
2. Increase ecological agency,
3. Compare two different types of messaging, and
4. Examine the role of viewer's gender and race as independent factors on the outcomes of interest.
Conditions: Ecology, Anxiety.
Primary outcome: Change in Climate Change Anxiety Scale (CCAS).
Enrollment: 1200 participants.
