简要总结
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine whether exposure to vaping prevention advertisements (ads) reduce susceptibility to vaping among adolescents. Previous studies have been informative, but they have tended to be one-time experimental studies that do not replicate the repeated exposures to ads that people have in the real world. This study addresses this issue by repeatedly exposing participants to vaping prevention ads over time. Participants will be adolescents aged 13-17 who currently vape or who are susceptible to vaping.
Participants will be randomly assigned to ad stimuli. They will be assigned to one of two The Real Cost trial arms-health harms or addiction-or to a control trial arm (probability of assignment is 1/3 for all trial arms). Participants in the study will take 4 online surveys over a 3-week period, once per week (At week 0, 1, 2, and 3). All participants will view randomized ad stimuli based on their trial arm and answer surveys items at each session.
详细描述
Tobacco prevention mass media campaigns are a key tool for reducing tobacco use among adolescents. While vaping has increased greatly among adolescents, there has been a dearth of research on effective communication strategies to reduce vaping. This study will test the impact of advertisements from the Food and Drug Administration's The Real Cost campaign on reducing susceptibility to vaping in a randomized controlled trial, illuminating whether such ads are effective as well as what themes are most effective (i.e., health harms, addiction). The investigators focus on adolescents (ages 13-17) who currently vape or are at risk of vaping.
Setting: The trial will be a longitudinal online study with 4 surveys over a 3 week period - 1 survey per week.
Recruitment: Adolescent participants will be recruited through Qualtrics, an online survey panel platform. Interested prospective participants will complete a screening questionnaire to determine their eligibility. If eligible, Qualtrics will invite them to enroll in the trial.
Informed Consent: Qualtrics will obtain parental consent online for adolescents who are eligible and interested in participating. After parental consent, adolescents will provide online assent prior to taking the survey.
Randomization: After providing informed assent, Qualtrics survey software will randomly assign participants to one of the three trial arms. Participants will have an equal chance of being randomized to any of the 3 trial arms.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Susceptibility to Vaping Score
时间窗: Week 3
The 3-item Susceptibility to Vaping Scale assesses the extent to which adolescents are open to vaping, using a 1 to 4 response option scale. Here, 1 indicates the lowest susceptibility to vaping, and 4 represents the highest, with higher values indicating a greater susceptibility to vaping - essentially, a worse outcome. The overall scale score is determined by averaging the scores of the three items, summing these scores and dividing by 3. This method results in a score range from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 4.
