The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of text and video formats of an online theory-based Meningitis B (MenB) health message intervention on college students. College freshmen and transfer students admitted at a Southern U.S. University. In a 2-arm randomized study, knowledge, perceptions, and intention to receive the vaccine were compared pre- and post-intervention. Post intervention, participants in both the written and video interventions had significantly higher scores of knowledge, perceptions, and intentions. Upon comparing the change in scores pre- to post-intervention between both text and video groups, no significant differences were found between both groups. This study, a first in using a theory-based MenB online education intervention and questionnaire to compare text and video formats, suggests that both text and video formats are equally effective in raising young adults' awareness about the MenB vaccine.
本研究旨在比较基于理论的脑膜炎 B（MenB）在线健康信息干预的文本和视频格式对大学生的影响。 南方某美国大学的新生和转学生。 在一项 2 臂随机研究中，比较了干预前后的知识、认知和接种疫苗的意愿。 干预后，书面和视频干预组的参与者在知识、认知和意愿方面的得分均显著提高。 在比较干预前后两组之间的分数变化时，两组之间没有发现显著差异。 这项研究首次使用基于理论的脑膜炎 B 在线教育干预和问卷来比较文本和视频格式，表明文本和视频格式在提高年轻人对脑膜炎 B 疫苗的认识方面同样有效。
