The aim of the present research is to test the effectiveness of an implementation intention-based intervention for promoting the wearing of face coverings in three key settings, namely: transport, workplaces and leisure activities.
Each participant will be randomly allocated to one of two conditions. The two conditions are: (1) a control condition, and (2) intervention (form multiple implementation intentions from a drop-down menu). The main outcome measure will be use of face coverings.

No Intervention: Passive control
The (passive) control condition includes the same questionnaire as the experimental group, however participants are not presented with the intervention.
|
|
Experimental: Intervention (volitional help sheet)
Participants in the intervention group will be asked to form implementation intentions with respect to wearing face coverings. Participants will be presented with the stem "If I am tempted not to wear a face covering consistently…" and given 10 options with which to complete as many "if-then" plans as they like. These ten options have been taken from the literature and have been shown to be effective with respect to changing numerous behaviours, including self-harm, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity.

Behavioral: Volitional help sheet
Participants are asked to choose from a list of strategies for increasing physical activity |
- Use of face coverings [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Participants will be asked to rate the extent to which they wear face coverings on 0-100% scales using the items, "Of the time you spent at work / on public transport / doing leisure activities that brought you into contact with other people in indoor spaces (e.g., cinemas, theatres, live music, nightclubs) in the last 7 days, roughly what percentage of it did you spend wearing a face covering?"
- Capability, opportunity and motivation (based on Capability, Opportunity, Motivation-Behaviour model) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Measured using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation questionnaire. Each of the items (0-10 scale) will be analysed separately as these each measure a separate construct. Higher scores indicate higher agreement with statements.
