Cross-Sectional Survey on the Use of Tobacco Products - Italy

Terminated

• Conditions: Tobacco Use
• Interventions: Other: Survey on Use of Tobacco Products in the General Population; Other: Survey on Use of Tobacco Products in IQOS Users

• Registration Number: NCT03527004
• Lead Sponsor: Philip Morris Products S.A.

Brief Summary

The main purpose of the research study is to estimate the prevalence of tobacco product use and describe the tobacco use patterns in adults in Italy.

Detailed Description

The aim of the survey is to describe the current and past patterns of use of tobacco products in the general adult population of Italy and in adult IQOS users registered in the IQOS user database of Philip Morris Italia S.r.l. (Italy IQOS User Database), and explore their association with key independent variables. More specifically, the objectives are:

1. Estimate the prevalence of current tobacco use status in the study population.

2. Describe the past tobacco use status (cigarette, IQOS and other innovative products, including e-cigarettes) in the study population (i.e. never-use, initiation, product use transition, cessation, re-initiation, and relapse).

3. Explore the association between self-reported health status and use of tobacco products in the study population.

4. Explore the association between patterns of use (including misuse) with motivation to use, perceived quality attributes of IQOS (e.g. risk and self-reported changes since switching to the product, in a number of relevant domains where IQOS may have potential benefits), and consumer's satisfaction in the population of IQOS users in Italy registered in the Italy IQOS User Database.
