Summary

The overall aim of this research is to experimentally evaluate the extent to which reducing the size of the tobacco power wall and the number of tobacco product units displayed influences tobacco use risk in adolescents.

Detailed description

This experiment will take place in the RAND StoreLab (RSL), a life-sized replica of a convenience store that we developed to evaluate how altering aspects of tobacco promotion at POS influences tobacco use risk during simulated shopping experiences. The study will use a between-subjects design, in which adolescents are randomly assigned to shop in the RSL under one of three conditions: (1) Large power wall/ multiple product units displayed; (2) Medium-sized power wall/multiple product units displayed; and (3) Small power wall/single product units displayed. We will consider the effect of these power wall alterations on risk of use of four classes of tobacco products: cigarettes, electronic nicotine delivery devices, cigarillos, and smokeless tobacco.
