Brief summary

The Sweet Spot Study aims to evaluate the effect of e-liquids with nicotine varying in freebase (FB) levels and concentrations on the appeal of electronic cigarettes (ECs) in young adult EC users with minimal/no history of smoking and older adult smokers.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Behavioral Intentions for Continued UseThe outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.Self-report measure on a 7-point scale completed following e-cigarette self-administration. Ratings range from1 (extremely unlikely) to 7 (extremely likely) with higher scores indicating a higher likelihood of continuing to use the product.
Intensity of Sensory AttributesThe outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.5-item self-report measure completed following e-cigarette self-administration, using the general Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS). Scores range from 0 (no sensation) to 100 (strongest imaginable) with higher scores indicating a greater sensation intensity.
Degree of Liking or Disliking of SensationsThe outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.Self-report measure completed following e-cigarette self-administration, using the Labeled Hedonic Scale (LHS). Scores range from -100 (most disliked imaginable) to 100 (most liked imaginable) with higher scores indicating a greater degree of liking.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Subjective AppealThe outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.12-item modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) completed following e-cigarette self-administration to assess subjective responses to the e-cigarettes. The 12-item mCEQ includes five subscales: Smoking Satisfaction, Psychological Reward, Aversion, Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensations, and Craving Reduction, with items rated from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely likely). Scores for each subscale are calculated as the mean of the individual item responses or the single item. Higher scores indicate greater intensity on that scale.

Behavioral Intentions for Continued Use

Self-report measure on a 7-point scale completed following e-cigarette self-administration. Ratings range from1 (extremely unlikely) to 7 (extremely likely) with higher scores indicating a higher likelihood of continuing to use the product.

Time frame: The outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.

Subjective Appeal

12-item modified Cigarette Evaluation Questionnaire (mCEQ) completed following e-cigarette self-administration to assess subjective responses to the e-cigarettes. The 12-item mCEQ includes five subscales: Smoking Satisfaction, Psychological Reward, Aversion, Enjoyment of Respiratory Tract Sensations, and Craving Reduction, with items rated from 1 (not at all) to 7 (extremely likely). Scores for each subscale are calculated as the mean of the individual item responses or the single item. Higher scores indicate greater intensity on that scale.

Time frame: The outcome measure was assessed immediately after each vaping session. During each vaping session, participants took two puffs of each of the 10 study conditions within a single study visit lasting up to 3 hours.
