Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary outcomes are 1) intention to quit as measured by a scale of three items: ‘I have the intention to quit smoking someday’, ‘In the future, I will quit smoking’ and ‘Someday, I will quit smoking’. 2) willingness to visit a subsequent quitting intervention. At the end of the experiment, participants are offered the url to an online stop coach. We measure whether participants would like to see the website. Both primary outcomes will be measured at T1 (just after the experiment), at T2 (after two weeks) and at T3 (after two months). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our secondary outcomes are willingness to consider quitting, perceived self-efficacy, and perceived cons of smoking and pros of quitting. All secondary measures will be measured at T1, T2 and T3. They all directly or indirectly predict intention to quit and smokers’ interest in a subsequent intervention. | — |
