One Size Does Not Fit All
This research examines how gender expressions in health messages influence perceived message effectiveness (PME) for sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults through perceived character similarity. In an online experiment, 1,113 SGM young adults were randomly assigned to view six anti-smoking messages portraying one of four gender expressions: feminine, masculine, gender expansive, or multiple gender. Findings indicated that messages with mu…
Youth Participatory Action Communication Research
Youth offer valuable insight on health communication needs and solutions in their communities. We propose youth participatory action communication research (YPACR) as a model for health campaign development that engages youth perspectives in applying systematic theory-informed communication research to addressing youth-identified health priorities. YPACR informed a series of paid high school internship programs in West Philadelphia, in which yout…
The Relationship Between News Coverage of Covid-19 Misinformation and Online Search Behavior
The spread of health misinformation poses a threat to public health as it can influence individuals' health beliefs and, potentially, behaviors, and their support for public health policies. The mainstream news media have the potential to inadvertently increase the salience of misinformation through their reporting. This study explores the agenda-setting effects of mainstream news media coverage on public salience of public health misinformation …
“Trusted Messengers Felt Like They Made All the Difference”
This study examines how community-based organizations (CBOs) in a large city in the northeast United States helped to bridge potential gaps in their community members' access to and use of a communication infrastructure relevant to the COVID-19 vaccine for children. Using a purposive sampling strategy, we conducted 10 semi-structured interviews between July and September 2022 with staff members of CBOs who communicated about COVID-19 vaccination …
Barriers, facilitators, and best practices for successful vaping prevention campaigns for sexual and gender minority youth
BACKGROUND: Sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) vape at higher rates than their heterosexual and/or cisgender peers. SGMY prefer SGM-specific anti-tobacco messaging; however, there have been no vaping prevention campaigns designed for SGMY. PURPOSE: Using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, Sustainment (EPIS) framework, we sought to explore specific barriers, facilitators, and best practices for health promotion for SGMY that will i…
Augmented Landscapes of Empathy
In contrast with virtual reality which often aims to isolate a user from their surroundings in order to transport them to a distant place, augmented reality (AR) was uniquely designed to (re)contextualize local landscapes and to provide expanded human experiences in situ. This critical reflection adopts a “research through design” process to examine AR’s technological and affective capabilities in the context of three community co-created AR camp…
Trust in federal Covid-19 vaccine oversight and parents’ willingness to vaccinate their children against Covid-19
Trust in federal COVID-19 vaccine oversight was associated with parental willingness to vaccinate their children against COVID-19 among parents whose children have not yet been vaccinated. Identifying and addressing causes of mistrust are crucial next steps to promote child vaccination. Intervention efforts to address trust gaps should remain a public health priority
Associations between sexual orientation, sex education curriculum, and exposure to affirming/disaffirming LGB content in two US-based cohorts of adolescents
Sexual health education experienced by lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth varies widely in relevancy and representation. However, associations among sexual orientation, type of sex education, and exposure to affirming or disaffirming content have yet to be examined. Understanding these patterns can help to address gaps in LGB-sensitive sex education. Our goal in this study was to examine the prevalence and associations among abstinence-only u…

Youth tobacco use before and after flavoured tobacco sales restrictions in Oakland, California and San Francisco, California
The tobacco industry has used recent findings from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Survey (YRBSS) to claim that a sales restriction on flavoured tobacco products might increase youth combustible cigarette use. In this special communication, we examined YRBSS data and reached the opposite conclusion. We observed the patterns in youth cigarette smoking in Oakland, California following its 2017 convenience store flavoured tobacco sales r…

Changes in Recall to E-Cigarette Advertisement Exposure among Florida Youth, 2016–2019
Introduction The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported increases in exposure to e-cigarette ads among US middle and high school students from 2014–2016. This study examines changes in exposure to e-cigarette ads by source among youth in Florida. Methods: We analyzed Florida Youth Tobacco Survey (FYTS) data from 2016–2019 (n = 149,407). We calculated the weighted prevalence of exposure to ads by source (on radio, TV, internet, billbo…
Emotional Responses and Perceived Relative Harm Mediate the Effect of Exposure to Misinformation about E-Cigarettes on Twitter and Intention to Purchase E-Cigarettes among Adult Smokers
There is a gap in knowledge on the affective mechanisms underlying effects of exposure to health misinformation. This study aimed to understand whether discrete emotional responses and perceived relative harm of e-cigarettes versus smoking mediate the effect of exposure to tweets about the harms of e-cigarettes on Twitter and intention to purchase e-cigarettes among adult smokers. We conducted a web-based experiment in November 2019 among 2400 ad…
PuffBar
Since 2 January 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration banned sales of all flavoured (other than menthol or tobacco) pod-mod e-cigarettes, like JUUL, that appeal to youth.1 However, the finalised policy exempted disposable e-cigarettes such as Puff Bar, Posh, Eon Stik, Mr. Vapor and other brands that are illegally introduced into the market and gaining popularity among youth.2 The objective of this Industry Watch article is to describe how Puf…

Validating the Hornik & Woolf approach to choosing media campaign themes
Hornik and Woolf (1999) proposed using cross-sectional survey data to prioritize beliefs to address with communication campaign messages. The empirical component of the approach combines evidence of (1) association of beliefs with intentions and (2) current level of beliefs to calculate a 'percentage to gain' as the potential promise of a belief. However, the method relies on cross-sectional data; its conclusions are open to challenge. Here, a pa…

Through the drinking glass
College drinking and its adverse consequences on students' health and safety are important public health concerns in the USA. Thus far, there is little attention on exploring and addressing the cultural dimensions of college drinking. This study examines the construction of meaning of drinking among students to understand their perspectives of the college drinking culture. From an analysis of a purposive sample of 232 US college newspaper article…
When Visual Cues Activate Moral Foundations
Within multimodal persuasive messages, the roles of visual cues in producing unintended effects have been understudied. In an experiment on a sample of former and current smokers (N = 991), we manipulated the presence of visual vaping cues within electronic cigarette video advertisements (N = 25) to evaluate opinions towards vape-free policies. Such cues diminished the effects of pro-vaping arguments to increase support for vape-free policies, in…

Sociodemographic correlates of self-reported exposure to e-cigarette communications and its association with public support for smoke-free and vape-free policies
Further research is needed to assess whether messages portraying e-cigarettes as a way to circumvent smoking restrictions from advertisements and other media are influencing public support for vape-free policies. These findings provide empirical evidence to inform the policy debate over regulating specific e-cigarette advertising claims
Measuring Exposure to Direct-to-Consumer Advertising
This research examines two recurrent conceptual issues of measuring media exposure in survey research in the context of cancer-related direct-to-consumer advertising (CR-DTCA)-the level of content specificity of survey items and the benefits of providing exemplars to aid recall. We evaluated three candidate measures of cancer patients' self-reported exposure to CR-DTCA; these measures varied in content specificity and provision of ad exemplars. U…
Exposure to Health (Mis)Information
Consumers frequently encounter competing health information comprised of accurate and erroneous messages about different diseases. This longitudinal study examined the lagged associations between young adults' exposure to health (mis)information about 4 cancer-related risk factors (indoor tanning, e-cigarette use, reusing plastic bottles, and artificial sweeteners), beliefs, intentions, and behaviors as informed by theories of persuasion and beha…
Predictive Validity of an Empirical Approach for Selecting Promising Message Topics
Several message topic selection approaches propose that messages based on beliefs pretested and found to be more strongly associated with intentions will be more effective in changing population intentions and behaviors when used in a campaign. This study aimed to validate the underlying causal assumption of these approaches which rely on cross-sectional belief-intention associations. We experimentally tested whether messages addressing promising…
