简要总结
This study will test whether cigarette package inserts (i.e., small printed leaflets inside cigarette packs) with messages about the benefits of cessation and tips for quitting can help smokers quit. To do this, the investigators will conduct a 2 X 2 between-subject experiment in which 380 smokers will be randomized into one of four labeling groups: 1. no inserts or pictorial health warning labels (HWLs); 2. inserts only; 3. pictorial HWLs only; 4. inserts & pictorial HWLs. Smokers will be given a 14-day supply of their preferred cigarette brand with packs labeled according to their experimental group. Participants will answer a brief survey at the end of each day and four other times each day, using ecological momentary assessment approaches. The investigators will study whether smokers in each group experience different psychological responses and behaviors associated with smoking cessation.

结局指标
主要结局
Strength of Feeling About Smoking
时间窗: Evaluated approximately 4-5 times a day over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying coverage of the day depending on study orientation time.
A single question measured on a continuous scale to assess strength of positive to negative feelings about smoking (1="very bad", better outcome; 7="very good", worse outcome), with average scores (range=1-7) estimated
Self-efficacy to Quit Smoking
时间窗: Evaluated approximately 4-5 times a day over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying coverage of the day depending on study orientation time.
A single question measured on a continuous scale (1="Not at all", worse outcome; 7="Extremely", better outcome) to assess strength of confidence to quit smoking, with average scores (range 1-7) estimated.
Self-efficacy to Cut Down on Smoking
时间窗: Evaluated approximately 4-5 times a day over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying coverage of the day depending on study orientation time.
A single question measured on a continuous scale (1="Not at all", worse outcome; 7="Extremely", better outcome) to assess strength of confidence to cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked, with average scores (range=1-7) estimated.
Extent of Motivation to Quit Smoking
时间窗: Evaluated approximately 4-5 times a day over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying coverage of the day depending on study orientation time.
A single question measured on a continuous scale to assess the extent of motivation to quit smoking (1="Not at all", worse outcome; 7="Extremely", better outcome), with average scores (range=1-7) estimated.
Foregoing a Cigarette
时间窗: Evaluated once each day (evening survey) over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying intervention exposure and coverage of the day, depending on study orientation time.
For each day, responses to two questions were combined to create a binary variable for whether, in the prior 24 hours, the participant a) did not smoke a cigarette when they normally would, and/or b) stubbed out a cigarette before finishing it, with the average daily percentage of this outcome estimated. Experiencing the event of forgoing/stubbing out is a better outcome, as it is a predictor of cessation attempts.
Worry About Harms From Smoking
时间窗: Evaluated approximately 4-5 times a day over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying coverage of the day depending on study orientation time.
A single question measured on a continuous scale to assess strength of worry about harms from smoking (1="Not at all", worse outcome; 7="Extremely", better outcome), with average scores (range=1-7) estimated.
Talk About Smoking Cessation
时间窗: Evaluated once each day (evening survey) over the 14 day study period, with analyses limited to days 2-14. Day 1 was dropped due to varying intervention exposure and coverage of the day, depending on study orientation time.
For each day, a single binary variable was derived to indicate whether the participant talked about either smoking cessation or smoking-related harms in the prior 24 hours, with the average daily percentage of this outcome estimated. Experiencing the event of talking about cessation or harms is a better outcome, as it is a predictor of cessation attempts.
