“…Identity-framed PSAs were deemed to be aligned with the participant’s identity when the participant’s identity scores were 6 or 7 and the participant did not distrust the source (ie, trust in the source was ≥4). The likelihood of compliance was measured using 7 items adapted from previous studies [ 44 , 45 ]. The outcome compliance items were measured using scales of 0-100, not the same 7-point scales as those used for the independent variables to classify participants, to reduce the risk of a common method bias [ 46 ].…”

Background Public health campaigns aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 are important in reducing disease transmission, but traditional information-based campaigns have received unexpectedly extreme backlash. Objective This study aimed to investigate whether customizing of public service announcements (PSAs) providing health guidelines to match individuals’ identities increases their compliance. Methods We conducted a within- and between-subjects, randomized controlled cross-sectional, web-based study in July 2020. Participants viewed two PSAs: one advocating wearing a mask in public settings and one advocating staying at home. The control PSA only provided information, and the treatment PSAs were designed to appeal to the identities held by individuals; that is, either a Christian identity or an economically motivated identity. Participants were asked about their identity and then provided a control PSA and treatment PSA matching their identity, in random order. The PSAs were of approximately 100 words. Results We recruited 300 social media users from Amazon Mechanical Turk in accordance with usual protocols to ensure data quality. In total, 8 failed the data quality checks, and the remaining 292 were included in the analysis. In the identity-based PSA, the source of the PSA was changed, and a phrase of approximately 12 words relevant to the individual’s identity was inserted. A PSA tailored for Christians, when matched with a Christian identity, increased the likelihood of compliance by 12 percentage points. A PSA that focused on economic values, when shown to individuals who identified as economically motivated, increased the likelihood of compliance by 6 points. Conclusions Using social media to deliver COVID-19 public health announcements customized to individuals’ identities is a promising measure to increase compliance with public health guidelines.

“…The duality of structure has for many years been applied in IS studies (Bernardi, ). This is primarily because IS research is often based on the interaction between agents and structures (Dennis, Clay, & Ko, ). Indeje and Zheng () state that the duality of structure allows a comprehensive and clear understanding of how IS artefacts mediate the interaction between human agents and structures.…”

An individual identity document (ID) is the most important identification method within a country, for both the government and the citizens. However, the physical addresses captured and stored in the ID systems and printed on individual IDs in the Republic of Angola are consistently inconsistent, duplicated, and incorrect. As a result, government service delivery, such as basic sanitation, health care, and security are often challenged and compromised. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an information systems framework to improve the current system that is used to issue IDs in the country. In order to achieve this aim, semistructured interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The data were collected from a governmental institution, the Ministry of Homeland, and from the community of Luanda in Angola. The data collected were hermeneutically analysed through the lens of the duality of structure from a structuration theory perspective. Based on the analysis, factors of influence were revealed and interpreted, which resulted in the development of a framework.The framework is intended to, from an information and communication technology (ICT) perspective, enhance the quality of data and improve the accuracy of issued IDs in Angola.Despite the current implications, there are no easy ways for the Angolan government to prevent incorrect, duplicate, and inconsistent information from being captured into the ID system. This problem exists because there is no system to validate the information that the government has received. Rose-Redwood, Alderman, and Azaryahu (2017) refer to such situations as a lack of technological advancement within the country. This is based on the fact that the current information system (IS) allows storage of incorrect, duplicate, and inconsistent physical addresses and for the same incorrect information to be printed on individuals' IDs. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an IS framework that can be used to improve the current system in issuing IDs in the country. Based on this aim, the objectives of the study were (a) to identify the deficiencies within
