Terms of Clearance: Approved consistent with the understanding that this study is not intended to generate nationally representative outcomes. Due to the study design, convenience sampling methodology, and methods of analyses-- significant limitations exist with regard to the generalizability of results from this study. Panelists are recruited into the online panel using convenience sampling methods, and thus do not have a known probability of selection into the panel. Recruitment of the study sample from the online panel is also subject to bias resulting from potential differences between survey responders (i.e., panelists who received the invitation and opted to participate in our study) and non-responders (i.e., panelists who were invited but chose not to participate) in characteristics that may be associated with key study outcomes. Because of these limitations, the relationship between treatment and outcomes we find in our study may not generalize to the broader U.S. population. FDA confirms that all such limitations inherent in the study design and methodology will be communicated in all reports, presentations, and policy documents.

Abstract: This experimental study will examine consumer reactions to two different versions of textual warning statements that focus on the negative health consequences of cigarette use. The aims of the study are to compare the effect of exposure to the 9 original statements in the Tobacco Control Act to revised versions of the statements. The study is part of the agency’s on-going research efforts to develop and test a new set of cigarette graphic health warnings in fulfilment of its statutory obligation under the Tobacco Control Act. This experimental study, conducted online with a web-based panel, will assess consumers’ beliefs and of the negative health consequences of the use of cigarettes in response to various warning statements. Participants will include adolescents (13-17 years) who either are current smokers or are susceptible non-smokers. In addition, young adults (18-24 years) and older adults (25+ years) who are current smokers will be included. The study will examine if the revised warning statements improve public understanding of the risks associated with smoking as compared to the warning statements listed in the Tobacco Control Act.
