- Description
A sample of TikTok videos associated with the hashtag #coronavirus were downloaded on September 20, 2020. Misinformation was evaluated on a scale (low, medium, high) using a codebook developed by experts in infectious diseases. Multivariable modeling was used to evaluate factors associated with number of views and presence of user comments indicating intention to change behavior. Videos and related metadata were downloaded using a third-party TikTok Scraper using the search term #coronavirus. Videos were reviewed for content and data were entered on a spreadsheet.
