Detailed Description

The survey will be hosted via QualtricsXM and accessible via an anonymous link. When participants open the survey, they will be presented with the survey's information sheet explaining the study's purpose and procedures. The information sheet will make it clear that completing the survey is voluntary and cadets may cease the survey at any time. Data from unfinished surveys will not be included in final analyses for any reports produced from this survey. Participants will complete demographics questions. Then, participants will answer injury reporting intentions and stigma questions, presented in a randomized order to reduce respondent fatigue. Participants will then watch a health promotion video that encourages reporting musculoskeletal injuries while in ROTC. Participants have the potential to be shown one of three videos: an officer-delivered health promotion, cadet-delivered health promotion, and a video of an officer exercising. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three videos using the in-built randomization function within Qualtrics. After watching the video, participants will answer the stigma and intentions questions again. After, participants will be asked to provide an email address that will be used to send them a link to complete the survey a second time. The follow-up portion will ask for their unique identifier as described above and have the participants answer the stigma and intentions questions again. All data will be de-identified when exporting responses from Qualtrics. No reference will be made to any individual participant in any way when presenting or reporting these data.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Peer-delivered
The arm will receive an intervention in the form of a peer-delivered video promoting help-seeking for musculoskeletal injuries while in ROTC. This video will be presented by a current ROTC cadet.
Other: Peer-delivered Health Promotion Video
A video delivered by a US Army ROTC cadet (peer) encouraging participants to seek help for musculoskeletal injuries experienced while in ROTC.
Experimental: Authority-delivered
The arm will receive an intervention in the form of an authority-delivered video promoting help-seeking for musculoskeletal injuries while in ROTC. This video will be presented by a US Army Lieutenant Colonel who is currently a professor of military science for an ROTC battalion.
Other: Authority-delivered Health promotion video
A video delivered by a US Army Lieutenant Colonel (authority figure) encouraging participants to seek help for musculoskeletal injuries experienced while in ROTC.
Other: Control
The arm will receive no true intervention. Participants in the control arm will watch a video of a US Army First Lieutenant exercising with no reference to musculoskeletal injuries or help-seeking behavior.
Other: Control Group Video
Video of a US Army First Lieutenant squatting, bench pressing, and deadlifting with voiceover. No mention of musculoskeletal injuries or help-seeking behavior.
Other Names:
  • Control

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in Stigma and Help-seeking Intentions Measured Before and After Health Promotion with Three-week Follow-up
Time Frame: Three weeks (baseline, immediately post intervention, and three weeks post intervention)
Outcome will measure stigma and help-seeking intentions related to musculoskeletal injuries using an online survey. Survey items use a seven-point Likert scale where the most positive response is assigned the lowest number (1) while the most negative response is assigned the highest number (7).
Three weeks (baseline, immediately post intervention, and three weeks post intervention)
