This completely discounts the value of convincing people on Mechanical Turk to switch to vegetarianism.
I had considered that, but it would be really difficult to tell whether you’ve convinced the actual MTurkers, so it would be hard to tell.
You’d probably have to either (1) do the identical study in a different realm where you can make it a surprise longitudinal study and attempt to re-contact people in a few months or (2) figure out a way to surprise re-contact the MTurkers.
But yeah, perhaps that ought to factor into the value consideration.

If you don’t think you can know whether you convinced the actual MTurkers, how are you going to use the data from them to know which flyers are effective?

Edit: Apparently it is possible, though difficult, to run a longitudinal study on MTurk.

Further tests of the changes in the field with longitudinal surveys.
