About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how well a culturally-specific "prebunking" video can improve vaccine information literacy and vaccine confidence among individuals in the Nusantara sociocultural sphere. The investigators hypothesize the individuals who watch the co-created "prebunking" intervention video will have improved vaccine literacy skills and vaccine confidence compared to individuals who watch a video about safe medication disposal.
