Brief summary

This trial refines and evaluates anti-tobacco messages among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young adults at risk for the use of more than one tobacco product (polytobacco use). Polytobacco use is associated with nicotine dependence and tobacco use into adulthood, and is disproportionately high among LGBT young adults. This trial seeks to determine effective communication of polytobacco use risk to at-risk LGBT young adults.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Identify absolute and relative risk anti-tobacco messages that effectively communicate polytobacco risks to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) young adults. Participants view anti-tobacco messages and rate them for perceived effectiveness and reactance.

Interventions

Participants are assigned to view health communications with risk and efficacy statements.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Message Perceived Effectiveness - Persuasive Potential.Immediately post-exposure to intervention, up to 1 hour6 items measured on 5-point scale, 1 = Not at all and 5 = Very much * These messages were worth remembering. * These messages grabbed my attention. * These messages are powerful. * These messages are convincing. * These messages are meaningful. * These messages are informative. Responses were summed and averaged to create a scale for intention to quit (range from 1 - 5). Higher scores indicate a higher persuasive potential of the message.
Perceived Effectiveness - Perceived Behavioral ImpactImmediately post-exposure to intervention, up to 1 hourSix items were analyzed separately, each scored on 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree, 5=Strongly Agree) These messages will motivate CIGARETTE SMOKERS to switch to vaping. These messages will motivate people to quit ALL smoking and vaping. These messages will motivate NON-USERS to start vaping. These messages will motivate NON-USERS to start smoking cigarettes. These messages will motivate CIGARETTE SMOKERS to quit. These messages will motivate VAPERS to quit.

Behavioral Intentions to Use Tobacco

8-items made up two 4-pt scales (1 = definitely will not and 4 = definitely will). Items for each scale were summed and averaged. Higher scores indicate higher likelihood of avoiding cigarettes/nicotine vapes. How likely it is that in the next 3 months, you will refrain from... * smoking cigarettes completely and permanently? * smoking cigarettes when you get lonely? * smoking cigarettes when you are with your friends who use them? * smoking cigarettes when someone hands you a cigarette? How likely it is that in the next 3 months, you will refrain from... * vaping nicotine completely and permanently? * vaping nicotine when you get lonely? * vaping nicotine when you are with your friends who use them? * vaping nicotine when someone hands you a vape?

Time frame: Immediately post-exposure to intervention, up to 1 hour

Population: Analytic population included participants who did not have missing data on outcomes.
