Protocol - Interpersonal Communication about Anti-tobacco Advertising

Add to My Toolkit
Description

This protocol includes two questions from the Evaluation of the Public Education Campaign on Teen Tobacco (ExPECTT-B) questionnaire. The first question assesses whether respondents talked about an anti-tobacco advertisement. If respondents have discussed the advertisement, they are asked follow-up items to determine their receptivity to the message. The second question asks specific questions related to the goals and objectives of the message. Thus, these secondary questions will vary by execution.

Specific Instructions

This protocol is typically administered after asking about confirmed and/or aided awareness of an anti-tobacco advertisement(s). Aided and confirmed awareness capture awareness of a specific advertisement. In assessing aided awareness, respondents are provided with specific details of an advertisement and asked to confirm whether they have seen the advertisement; in assessing confirmed awareness, respondents are required to provide additional details about the advertisement.

Once respondents indicate recognition or recall of an advertisement, respondents should be asked whether they talked to anyone about the advertisement(s) (item #1 below). If the respondent answers "yes," they should be asked what topics were discussed (item #2).

In addition, the WG recommends that investigators consider clearly defining "tobacco products" by noting whether that definition includes or excludes certain types of related products based on these criteria: products that are intended for human consumption; made or derived from tobacco; typically contain nicotine, but sometimes do not; and are not Food and Drug Administration-approved tobacco-cessation products.
