What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Rate Emotional ResponseBehavioural
Also called Video message and flyer
Participants will view their assigned video package, and will be asked to rate their emotional response to the message
Rate Impact of MessageBehavioural
Also called Video message and flyer
Participants will view their assigned video package, and will be asked to rate the impact of the presented messages on motivation to quit smoking.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| "Big tobacco" video message and flyer | Active comparator | Participants will view a "Big tobacco" video message and flyer. Receives: Behavioral: Rate Emotional Response; Behavioral: Rate Impact of Message |
| "It's never too late" video message and flyer | Active comparator | Participants will view a "It's never too late" video message and flyer. Receives: Behavioral: Rate Emotional Response; Behavioral: Rate Impact of Message |
| Placebo Message | Placebo comparator | Participants will view a water advertisement and flyer. Receives: Behavioral: Rate Emotional Response; Behavioral: Rate Impact of Message |
| Fear message video and flyer | Active comparator | Participants will view a fear message video and flyer. Receives: Behavioral: Rate Emotional Response; Behavioral: Rate Impact of Message |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Motivation to Quit Smoking
Change in participants' motivation to quit pre- and post-viewing of the experimental flyer and video, using a 1 item scaled measurement of motivation to quit (1-7 scale, 7 indicating higher motivation) measured in a single online survey (~15 minutes).
