Clinical Trial Summary

This trial refines and evaluates anti-tobacco messages among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) young adults at risk for the use of more than one tobacco product (polytobacco use). Polytobacco use is associated with nicotine dependence and tobacco use into adulthood, and is disproportionately high among LGBT young adults. This trial seeks to determine effective communication of polytobacco use risk to at-risk LGBT young adults.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Identify absolute and relative risk anti-tobacco messages that effectively communicate polytobacco risks to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) young adults. Participants view anti-tobacco messages and rate them for perceived effectiveness and reactance.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Message Perceived Effectiveness - Persuasive Potential.	6 items measured on 5-point scale, 1 = Not at all and 5 = Very much; These messages were worth remembering.; These messages grabbed my attention.; These messages are powerful.; These messages are convincing.; These messages are meaningful.; These messages are informative.; Responses were summed and averaged to create a scale for intention to quit (range from 1 - 5).; Higher scores indicate a higher persuasive potential of the message.	Immediately post-exposure to intervention, up to 1 hour
Primary	Perceived Effectiveness - Perceived Behavioral Impact	Six items were analyzed separately, each scored on 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly Disagree, 5=Strongly Agree); These messages will motivate CIGARETTE SMOKERS to switch to vaping.; These messages will motivate people to quit ALL smoking and vaping.; These messages will motivate NON-USERS to start vaping.; These messages will motivate NON-USERS to start smoking cigarettes.; These messages will motivate CIGARETTE SMOKERS to quit.; These messages will motivate VAPERS to quit.	Immediately post-exposure to intervention, up to 1 hour
Primary	Risk Perceptions: Absolute/Relative Risks of Cigarette vs. E-cigarette Use	On a scale from 0-10, where 0 = not at all harmful and 10 = extremely harmful now harmful are ... to your health?; combustible cigarettes; nicotine vapes; On a scale from 0-10, where 0 = much less harmful and 10 = much more harmful...; • compared to combustible cigarettes, how harmful are nicotine vapes to your health?
