INTERVENTION: To establish the effectiveness of comics and test whether comic style adds anything to the outcomes, participants will be randomised into a 1:1:1 allocation ratio. The control will be pre‐existing NHSBT information related to the comic and written narrative content located on the NHSBT website. All eligible participants will be randomly assigned into three different study arms: 1. Read NHSBT website information only (control) 2. NHSBT information and COMICS narrative (comic intervention) 3. NHSBT information and WRITTEN narrative (written intervention) Using a web‐based randomisation algorithm, Qualtrics will randomly allocate participants to each of the experimental arms with 1:1:1 allocation. Because Prolific handles the interaction between the study investigators and participants, the participants will be completely anonymous to the study investigators. The outcome measures will be self‐reported and submitted anonymously. Participants and members of the research team will be blinded to the trial arm allocation.
