Protocol - Self-reported Exposure to Smoking on Television and in the Movies
Description
This protocol uses one item from the Survey of Teen Opinions about Retail Environments (STORE), a school-based survey that included 1,681 adolescents (ages 11-14 years). This item assesses perceived exposure to people who smoke in movies or on television.
Specific Instructions
For the purposes of scoring, the WG recommends that the following scale be used: Never = 1, Rarely = 2, Sometimes = 3, and Often = 4
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.
Protocol
1. In the past 7 days, how often did you see TV shows or movies where someone was smoking?

Selection Rationale
Consensus documents (e.g., Surgeon General reports, National Cancer Institute monographs) indicate that exposure to smoking in movies promotes smoking initiation, and the World Health Organization recommends a variety of policies to reduce youth exposure to tobacco imagery in entertainment media. Fine-grained assessment of exposure to tobacco in films (e.g., Beach Method) requires a significant amount of resources and survey questions that are likely beyond the scope of most tobacco research. This single item selected here shows evidence of predictive validity amongst young adolescents.
