This study describes two experiments with 998 Brazilian adults, which main objective was to investigate whether behavioral intentions that contribute to the fight against COVID-19 would be significantly influenced by videos that address the disease from different strategies: one message was informative only, and the other was framed to mobilize empathy in viewers. The results indicate that exposure to both messages contributed to an increase in behavioral intentions of participants, when compared to others who formed a control group. Data also suggest that socioeconomic conditions are an important factor to consider when analyzing the effects of these messages on people’s behavior. We discuss the importance of considering the scientific evidence regarding the format and content of messages aired to the population. We also discuss the need to implement initiatives to protect people in more vulnerable socioeconomic conditions, so that actions in the field of Health Education may effectively contribute to combat the pandemic. 2022 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28473958008 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28473958008/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28473958008/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28473958008/28473958008.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/284/28473958008/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.3 Vol.56
