Health Information Survey of Young African Adults

The health information survey (HIS) collected responses from young adults in African countries (Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa) via Facebook advertisements. The data gathered information about how young adults in these countries would like to use health information on social media platforms. The survey also asked the participants about their demand for health information during and pre-Covid outbreak.

As a primer, the survey collected metadata about the quality of responses that the participants provided. This information included participants IP address, their responses to three attention check questions, and the time spent to complete the survey.

The attached analysis script serves as a replication file for a research output from the survey. The original research describes the magnitude of careless responding in the sample and how this differs by sociodemographic characteristics.
