Estimated treatment effects on primary outcomes by treatment arm compared to the federal, impersonal condition. Covariate‐adjusted treatment effects from ordinary least squares regression with reference being the control group, federal impersonal message. Estimates are standardized using Cohen’s D, which scales outcomes by the pooled standard deviation. A Cohen’s D of 0.2 is considered a small effect and 0.5 a medium effect. 39 (Table S6 for tabular form). Points are bounded by 95% CIs. Regression adjusted by covariates: race/ ethnicity, marital (married, single, other), party, gender, anxiety about COVID‐19, news frequency (very frequent, frequent, other), and economy versus public health trade‐off.
