What this trial measures
- Change in KnowledgeBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Knowledge will be assessed with items based on the ITC-4 (International Tobacco Control (ITC) Four Country Survey) that map onto information presented in the messages (e.g., "Does smoking cause…" heart disease, lung cancer in others; Yes, No, I don't know)
- Change in WorryBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Worry will be assessed with 4 items, "How \[worried, anxious, fearful, concerned\] are you about the effects of smoking?" (1=Not at all, 7=Extremely).
- Change in Risk perceptionBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Risk perceptions will be assessed with 3 items, "If you \[don't/do\] quit smoking for good, what are your chances of ever developing a smoking-related health problem?" and "How susceptible do you feel you are to developing a smoking-related health problem?" (1=Lowest susceptibility, 7=Highest susceptibility). These will be averaged to form a measure of personal absolute risk
- Change in the Contemplation LadderBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Motivation to quit will be measured with the Contemplation Ladder, rating the position on an 11-rung ladder (0-10) corresponding to stages from "no thought of quitting" (0) to "taking action" (10)
- Change in the Motivation to Stop ScaleBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Motivation to quit will be measured with the Motivation to Stop Scale, Level of motivation to stop smoking is measured with seven response categories ranging from 1 (lowest) to level 7 (highest level of motivation to stop smoking)
- Change in intention to quitBaseline and post-intervention (approximately 1 hour)
Intention to quit will be measured with the question "What best describes your intent to stop smoking completely, not even a puff?" (1=Never expect to quit, 4=Will quit in the next 30 days)
