Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cigarette pictorial warning label content (lesser-known vs well-known risks) on visual engagement, recall, and knowledge of tobacco use harms.

Detailed description

This laboratory-based study will aim to enroll 120 current cigarette users to complete a 1-day randomized, parallel design protocol. The participants will be randomized to one of two conditions, pictorial warning labels (PWLs) with well-known or lesser-known tobacco harms. After completing a baseline questionnaire, the participants will view 4 warning labels from the assigned group and complete a follow-up questionnaire. Eye-tracking will provide data on visual processing of the warning labels and the effect of these labels on knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about smoking will be supplemented by self-report.
