Hookah Smoking, Reactions to Warnings
Conditions
Keywords
Hookah, Shisha, Tobacco, Narghile
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to help us better understand what kinds of waterpipe tobacco advertisements appeal to young adults as well as to help evaluate and create health warnings that can be placed on waterpipe tobacco advertisements to inform young adults of the risks associated with smoking hookah tobacco.
Interventions
Participants will view 2 ads without replacement.
Participants will view HWLs in one of four domains: long- and short-term health events, toxicants, and addiction; participants viewed two HWLs within each domain - there were two HWLs per domain. The text HWLs were placed randomly on two ads out of the possible four ad themes without replacement. Thus, participants viewed two HWLs within the same domain, with each warning being placed on a different ad.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ad Effect on Product Purchase | up to 45 minutes | Participants who completed the social allure study were asked, How likely are you to buy the product in the ad?. Response options were: 1=No chance, 2=Very unlikely, 3=Unlikely, 4=Moderately likely, 5=Likely, 6=Very Likely, and 7=Certain to happen. Means scores could range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflects that the study participant would have a higher probability of purchasing the product depicted in the ad. |
| Reactance to Ads | up to 45 minutes | Two items from the University of North Carolina (UNC) short reactance scale were asked from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree: This ad is trying to manipulate me, and This ad annoys me. Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. Mean scores can range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflect higher reactance, meaning that participants felt more reactance (e.g., felt their freedoms were being taken away). |
| Perceived Effectiveness of Health Warnings | up to 45 minutes | Participants used a three-item measure as a gestalt assessment of how well an ad dissuaded WTS. The three items, rated from 1=strongly disagree to 7=strongly agree were: This ad discourages me from wanting to smoke waterpipe tobacco, This ad makes me concerned about the health effects of smoking waterpipe tobacco, and This ad makes smoking waterpipe tobacco seem unpleasant to me. Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. The mean score could ranged from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflects that the ad was more effective at dissuading WTS. |
| Ad Effect on Desire to Smoke | up to 45 minutes | Participants were asked, To what extent did this ad affect your desire to smoke waterpipe tobacco? from 1=Reduced my desire a lot to 7=Increased my desire a lot. Mean scores could range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflects that the ad increased a participant's desire to smoke waterpipe tobacco. |
| Ad Effect on Event Participation | up to 45 minutes | Participants who completed the social allure study were asked, If the activities in the ad were to take place in a location near you, how likely are you to participate in those activities?. Response options were: 1=No chance, 2=Very unlikely, 3=Unlikely, 4=Moderately likely, 5=Likely, 6=Very Likely, and 7=Certain to happen. Mean scores could range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflects a higher probability that the participant would participate in the event depicted in the ad. |
| Emotional Reactions to Ads | up to 45 minutes | Participants rated on 7-point bipolar scales the extent each ad made them feel not at all anxious/very anxious, not at all worried/very worried, not at all fearful/very fearful and good /bad. Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. Mean scores range from 1 to 7 where higher mean values represent more negative emotional reactions to viewing the ad. |
| Attitudes Toward Waterpipe Tobacco Smoking (WTS) as Measured by Questionnaire | up to 45 minutes | Participant rated on 9-point bipolar scale an ad's portrayal of WTS. The five attributes that tapped cognitions were: safe/unsafe, healthy/unhealthy, useful/useless, harmful/beneficial, and wise/foolish. The five attributes that captured affect were: pleasant/unpleasant, nice/nasty, enjoyable/not enjoyable, satisfying/unsatisfying, gratifying/revolting. Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. The mean scores could range from 1 to 7 where a higher mean score reflects a more negative attitude towards WTS. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Global Attitude on Waterpipe Tobacco Smoking (WTS) | up to 45 minutes | Four 7-point bipolar scales tapped views on WTS: negative/positive, dislike/like, bad/good, undesirable/desirable. Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. The mean scores range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflect a more positive overall attitudes towards smoking waterpipe tobacco. |
| Urge to Smoke | up to 45 minutes | Assessed from 1=Not at all strong to 7=Extremely strong by, How strong is your urge to smoke waterpipe tobacco right now? Mean scores range from 1 to 7. A higher mean score reflects the participant had a stronger urge to smoke waterpipe tobacco. |
| Avoidance / Acceptance of Health Warnings as Measured by Eye Tracking | up to one hour | Participants were going to be positioned to view several ads, and with an apparatus, track their visual movements. |
| Perceived Risk as Measured by Questionnaire | up to 45 minutes | Participants responded to three questions tapping perceived personal risk, What do you think is your chance of getting a serious smoking-related disease in your lifetime, such as cancer, lung disease or heart disease, if you do not quit waterpipe tobacco smoking? (1=No chance to 7=Certain to happen), How worried are you about getting a serious smoking-related disease in your lifetime, such as cancer, lung disease, or heart disease, if you do not quit waterpipe tobacco smoking? (1=Not at all worried to 7=Extremely worried, and Your 'gut feeling' tells you that you are hurting your health when you smoke waterpipe tobacco? (1=Strongly disagree to 7=Strongly agree). Reported as a composite score created by averaging the items. Mean scores could range from 1 to 7.

Avoidance / Acceptance of Health Warnings as Measured by Eye Tracking
Participants were going to be positioned to view several ads, and with an apparatus, track their visual movements.

Population: This outcome measure required participants meeting in person with a lab researcher. However, due to COVID, where a policy was implemented on campus to not allow in-person visits for research studies, this was not possible. Hence, no data were collected and will not be collected in the future.
