简要总结
This study will investigate the effects of promotion factors and mitigation strategies on legal and illegal tobacco purchases for different tobacco-user types.
详细描述
In the present study, we propose to examine some promotion factors and mitigation strategies and how they impact tobacco product legal and illegal purchases. Specifically, we have developed an Illegal Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (iETM). The iETM permits us to identify the number, type, and characteristics of tobacco users who would seek illegal tobacco products and the conditions that would induce them to seek that option. The critical questions we seek to answer are whether changes in product standards and availability will engender illegal tobacco purchasing as a function of tobacco user type (e.g., exclusive combustible product users, and dual cigarette/NVP users). Understanding the user types and the relevant conditions will inform greater tailoring of policy to diminish consumer interest in an illegal market.

结局指标
主要结局
Percent Budget Spent on Illegal Cigarettes Across Policy Conditions
时间窗: 1 day
The study has 4 policy conditions with combinations of promotion strategy (VLNC standard) and mitigation strategy (penalties), and each combination: No Policy, Penalty only, VLNC only, and Penalty + VLNC. The average percentage of the budget spent on illegal cigarettes across all trials was calculated for each policy scenario.
Percent Budget Spent on Legal Cigarettes Across Policy Conditions
时间窗: 1 day
The study has 4 policy conditions with combinations of promotion strategy (VLNC standard) and mitigation strategy (penalties), and each combination: No Policy, Penalty only, VLNC only, and Penalty + VLNC. The average percentage of the budget spent on legal cigarettes across all trials was calculated for each policy scenario.
Percent Budget Spent on E-cigarettes Across Policy Conditions
时间窗: 1 day
The study has 4 policy conditions with combinations of promotion strategy (VLNC standard) and mitigation strategy (penalties), and each combination: No Policy, Penalty only, VLNC only, and Penalty + VLNC. The average percentage of the budget spent on e-cigarettes across all trials was calculated for each policy scenario.
Percent Budget Spent on Nicotine Replacement Therapy Across Policy Conditions
时间窗: 1 day
The study has 4 policy conditions with combinations of promotion strategy (VLNC standard) and mitigation strategy (penalties), and each combination: No Policy, Penalty only, VLNC only, and Penalty + VLNC. The average percentage of the budget spent on nicotine replacement theray across all trials was calculated for each policy scenario.
Percent Budget Spent on Oral Nicotine/Tobacco Across Policy Conditions
时间窗: 1 day
The study has 4 policy conditions with combinations of promotion strategy (VLNC standard) and mitigation strategy (penalties), and each combination: No Policy, Penalty only, VLNC only, and Penalty + VLNC. The average percentage of the budget spent on oral nicotine/tobacco across all trials was calculated for each policy scenario.
