August 1, 2024 updated by: Loma Linda University

Developing, Evaluating and Testing Video Messages for a Smoking Cessation Campaign Among Mongolian Adults

240 adult smokers will be recruited. Subjects will be asked to view video messages that encourage smoking cessation. The effect of these videos will be assessed.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study will use a parallel, two-arm randomized control trial design. After consenting to participate in the study, Participants will be invited to fill out the online questionnaire form which will include one randomly selected ad exposure. The participation in the study will contain three parts: pre-test, video-ad stimuli, and post-test. Pretest will contain questions on the demographic information and readiness to quit smoking. Video ad stimuli segment will contain the selected video ad. The posttest will contain the manipulation check, readiness to quit smoking, message engagement, and PME questions. A randomization table will be generated using Research Randomizer software (ResearchRandomizer.org; Social Psychology Network) and subjects will be randomized to video ad 1 or video ad 2 in permuted blocks of 2.

The video ads are a part of the "Victory" media campaign designed for the tobacco cessation clinical project in Mongolia. Each video ad ends with the slogan "Every attempt is a victory".

Video Ad 1. This video ad was designed using a loss-framed message and emphasized the costs of continuing to smoke (losses) demonstrating the severe negative health consequences of smoking (e.g., complicated COVID-19, ICU hospitalization). The main actor in the ad is a famous young male Mongolian singer.

Video Ad 2. The video emphasized the benefits of quitting (gains) using a female actor.

After the viewing of the video ad participants will be asked to report reaction by completing an online posttest survey.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Loss-framed message
Loss-framed message. This 54-second video advertisement employs a loss-framed message, highlighting the detrimental costs associated with continued smoking, including the severe negative health impacts such as increased vulnerability to complications from COVID-19 and the likelihood of ICU hospitalization. The main focus of the ad is a well-known young male Mongolian singer, who serves as the central figure conveying the message.
Behavioral: Developing, Evaluating and Testing Video Messages for a Smoking Cessation Campaign
To explore how smokers reacted to the gain-framed and loss-framed video ad
Other Names:
  • Health message framing effects on attitudes, intentions and behavior
Experimental: Gain-framed message
Gain-framed message. In this 59-second video advertisement, the emphasis is on highlighting the gains associated with quitting smoking. The narrative follows a female protagonist who, one year after quitting, meets with her physician. The physician highlights the client's improved lung X-ray and blood test results compared to the previous year, offering congratulations on the decision and celebrating the positive health outcome. Encouraged by this progress, the client is motivated to continue making positive lifestyle choices.
Behavioral: Health Message Framing
Gain- framed messages in health communication are constructed by framing a particular outcome as either a benefit or a cost, relative to a specific reference poin
Other Names:
  • Message framing

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Message Engagement
Time Frame: Immediately post-video message view.
Subjects will complete a 3 question survey indicating identification with the video message, that will be measured on a 5 point Likert Scale. 1 indicates strong disagreement. 5 indicates strong agreement. The question responses will be added up and a mean will be calculated to create an overall message engagement score.
Immediately post-video message view.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Readiness to Quit Smoking
Time Frame: Change between pre-exposure and post-exposure to video message, an average of 3 days
The question will use a 10-point slider to determine how ready a participant is to quit smoking within the next 30 days.
Change between pre-exposure and post-exposure to video message, an average of 3 days
