Adolescents' Exposure to Zero‐Alcohol Advertisements and Attitudes and Consumption Intentions Towards Alcohol
Improving consumer understanding of dietary health risks using the lens of ultra-processing
Over-consumption of ultra-processed foods is a major barrier to healthier eating, indicating the current food-based dietary guidelines utilised in many countries are not deterring consumption of these foods. A level-of-processing framework that discourages Ultra-processed Food (UPF) consumption represents a potential paradigm shift in communicating dietary risk to consumers and guiding dietary behaviour. This study experimentally compared two inf…
Alcohol advertising in disguise
The combination of high levels of agreement and slower reaction times suggest that adolescents categorise zero-alcohol drinks as non-typical alcoholic drinks, rather than soft drinks. Thus, exposure to zero-alcohol drinks had similar effects to exposure to alcoholic drinks. Urgent regulatory action is required to ensure that restrictions on alcohol advertising and availability to minors extend to zero-alcohol drinks
You can’t just eat 16 teaspoons of sugar so why would you drink 16 teaspoons’ worth of sugar?”
Labels conveying the amount of sugar in a beverage in teaspoons were perceived as highly factual, relatable and interpretable, and as having the greatest potential to impact consumption attitudes and intentions. Further quantitative studies are required to compare the potential effectiveness of the teaspoons of sugar labels in reducing purchasing and consumption behaviour than other alternative warning labels, such as health effects or "high in" …
Adolescents’ knowledge and beliefs regarding health risks of soda and diet soda consumption
Objective: To examine Australian adolescents’ knowledge and beliefs regarding potential health consequences of soda and diet soda consumption and nutritional aspects of soda and explore associations with consumption. Design: A survey utilising a nationally representative sample (stratified two-stage probability design) assessed knowledge of nutritional contents and health consequences of soda, and beliefs regarding health risks of diet soda, and …
Warning labels and interpretive nutrition labels
Effective strategies to reduce free sugar intake are needed. This study examined exposure to a warning label, independently and in conjunction with a Health Star Rating (HSR) label, on the selection of commercially available cold beverages with real decision-making stakes. Participants (N = 511, 47.9% female, mean = 21.7 (SD = 6.1) years) accessed an online convenience store app via an on-campus laptop to select one of 10 beverages (5 sugar-sweet…
Intentions to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption
Objective: There are numerous health effects associated with excess sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption. Interventions aimed at reducing population-level consumption require understanding of the relevant barriers and facilitators. This study aimed to identify the variables with the strongest relationship with intentions to reduce SSB consumption from a suite of variables derived from the literature. Design: Random-digit dialling of landlin…
“I'm not the anti-smoker now. I just don't smoke anymore”
Background: Emerging adulthood presents unique challenges to smoking cessation that are not well understood. During this phase, smoking identities can develop that become obstacles for quitting, particularly in social situations where smoking is accepted and expected. Using a social identity approach, this study explores how social relationships and normative group behaviours can be barriers to transitioning from a smoker to non-smoker identity.M…
I don’t think I'd feel good about myself if I was to give up smoking and go to one of these’
Objective: To explore South Australian (SA) young adult smokers' and ex-smokers' perceptions of e-cigarettes as a possible tool for smoking cessation in a context where only e-cigarettes that do not contain nicotine are legally available.Design: Six focus groups: two groups of five participants each for daily smokers, occasional smokers (less than daily) and ex-smokers. Participants (N = 30, 57% male) were aged between 18 and 25 years; e-cigarett…
Taking the pressure off the spring
While the observed declines in smoking prevalence are likely due to a combination of interventions and cannot be attributed exclusively to antitobacco advertising, the results reinforce the political decision to reinstate the campaign and demonstrate the need for maintained investment to keep downward pressure on smoking rates
Personal pack display and active smoking at outdoor café strips
This study demonstrated a sustained reduction in visibility of tobacco products and smoking in public, particularly in the presence of children, from pre-PP to 1 year post-PP. This effect is likely to reduce smoking-related social norms, thereby weakening an important influence on smoking uptake and better supporting quit attempts
What happens when the price of a tobacco retailer licence increases
Licensing of tobacco retailers has received little attention in tobacco control in Australia and internationally. Our data add to the growing body of evidence supporting further regulation of retail sale of tobacco. The results demonstrate that a tobacco licence price increase off a low base is a potentially effective method of reducing tobacco points of sale when consumer demand for cigarette products is low. However, further research is needed …
The silent salesman
Tobacco packs are frequently seen on table-tops in café strips, providing many opportunities for other patrons and passers-by to be incidentally exposed to cigarette brand names and imagery. Use of cigarette cases is rare, suggesting that smokers eventually habituate to pictorial warnings on branded packs and/or find repeated decanting of each newly purchased branded pack into a case to be inconvenient
The relationship between environmental activism, pro-environmental behaviour and social identity
