Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rumors circulate widely during public health crises and have deleterious consequences. In this study, we seek to document the base rates of migrant workers' rumor exposure and identify predictors of rumor hearing, sharing and belief.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Rumors circulate widely during public health crises and have deleterious consequences. Vulnerable populations such as migrant workers tend to lack access to accurate health information, which can put them at higher risk for receiving and spreading misinformation.

In this study, we seek to document (i) the base rates of migrant workers' rumor exposure and (ii) identify predictors of rumor hearing, sharing and belief. These predictors include trust in institutions, risk perceptions, online habits and socio-demographic variables.

Data was taken from the COVID-19 Migrant Health Study, a cross-sectional study of male migrants employed in manual labor jobs within Singapore.
