The Impact of Innovative Tax Proposals on Purchase Patterns

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the effect of four tax proposals (i.e. Tobacco Parity, Nicotine-Content, Harm-Reduction, and Modified Risk Tobacco Product-related taxes) on tobacco product purchasing patterns.

Clinical Trial Description

This study experimentally examines the effects of largely untried integrated tax proposals. Four tax proposals will be modeled: Tobacco Parity, Nicotine-Content, Harm-Reduction, and MRTP. Tobacco products are placed into three tax tiers: high-, medium-, and no-tax, according to the goals of each proposal. In a within-between subject design (tax proposals between subjects; control condition within subject), cigarette smokers will complete two conditions in the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace, representing one control condition and one of the four tax proposals. Within each condition, taxes will be increased proportionally across 6 trials (relative to tax tier) to examine how cigarette purchasing, substitution, and poly-tobacco purchasing (i.e., diversity in products purchased) are affected. ;
