Access to social media during COVID-19:
An analysis of social media's effect on engagement with public affairs and health behaviours in Uganda
REFNo: SS682ES
This study’s objectives are twofold. First, we seek to generate descriptive evidence relating to an important and understudied topic, as outlined in Section 2: social media usage in the Global South, in particular in Uganda. This aspect of our research will generate informative data on the frequency of social media use among peri-urban Ugandans under the age of 40, the types of social media they use, and whether they use it for entertainment, to seek information, or to communicate with fellow citizens and local politicians.
Second, we seek to generate causal evidence regarding the effect of increased access to social media on knowledge and behavior with regards to COVID-19 and public affairs, as well as general measures of wellbeing. With regard to knowledge, this causal component of the study will assess whether greater access to social media can help to inform citizens about public affairs and COVID-19, and the extent to which social media contributes to the spread of misinformation. With regard to behavior, the study will assess whether increased access to social media leads to disengagement from real-life social interactions, increased community and political engagement, and changes in the adoption of safe practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19. With regard to wellbeing, the study will assess whether greater access to social media leads to decreased happiness and wellbeing, as has been found in other contexts such as the United States.
