Messages That Motivate: Communicating Alcohol-Related Breast Cancer Risk to Young Adult Women (MEMO)
2 september 2026 bijgewerkt door: Darren Mays, Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center
This is an online cross-sectional experimental survey study examining two cancer communication questions: 1) What features of social media messages communicating the breast cancer risks from alcohol consumption will motivate young adult women to drink less? and 2) Do message features differ in their persuasive effects based on young adult women's alcohol consumption behavior?

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
This is an online cross-sectional experimental study to examine the effects of features of social media messages in young adult women ages 18-25 who drink alcohol based on valid, self-report outcomes.
Within the survey, participants will be randomized to view messages in one of nine conditions in a 3x3 factorial design with baseline alcohol consumption as a within-participants factor to test the effects of social media message features (content, persuasive themes) on participant responses.
We will also compare the effects of message features for young women who drink within recommended limits (1 drink/day or less on average) and those who exceed recommended drinking limits.

Message Perceptions
Tijdsspanne: This assessment is administered immediately after participants view study messages on Day 1
|
We will assess message perceptions using a valid, reliable measure with six questions about whether participants thought the messages were worth remembering, grabbed their attention, and were informative, powerful, convincing, and meaningful. Responses are on a five-point Likert scale from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree). For all message response outcomes, we will sum and average responses to the items to create message-level scores, then compute means across both messages within each condition for a grand mean. Higher values are considered a better outcome. |

Effect Perceptions
Tijdsspanne: This assessment is administered immediately after participants view study messages on Day 1
|
We will capture message effects perceptions using the abbreviated effects perceptions scale.
Items include questions about how much the messages made them feel discouraged to drink alcohol, concerned about drinking alcohol, and made them feel that drinking alcohol is unpleasant on a scale from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree).
For all message response outcomes, we will sum and average responses to the items to create message-level scores, then compute means across both messages within each condition for a grand mean.
Higher values are considered a better outcome.

Emotional Response
Tijdsspanne: This assessment is administered immediately after participants view study messages on Day 1
|
We will capture emotional responses to the messages using a valid, four item scale.
Items are "This message made me angry; irritated; aggravated; and annoyed" with responses on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (Not likely at all) to 5 (Extremely likely).
For all message response outcomes, we will sum and average responses to the items to create message-level scores, then compute means across both messages within each condition for a grand mean.
Higher values are considered a better outcome.

Counter-arguing
Tijdsspanne: This assessment is administered immediately after participants view study messages on Day 1
|
We will capture counter-arguing, a measure of whether participants cognitively refute messages, with a valid, three item scale that captures whether participants criticize messages, think of points that go against messages, and are skeptical of the messages.
Responses are on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 7 (Very much).
For all message response outcomes, we will sum and average responses to the items to create message-level scores, then compute means across both messages within each condition for a grand mean.
Lower values are considered a better outcome.

Behavioral Intentions
Tijdsspanne: This assessment is administered immediately after participants view study messages on Day 1
|
Intentions to reduce alcohol consumption in the future will also be assessed with a valid, multi-item scale capturing whether participants will avoid drinking alcohol completely, reduce the number of occasions when they drink alcohol, and reduce the amount of alcohol they consume on drinking occasions with a 1 (Definitely Will Not) to 4 (Definitely Will) response scale.
For all message response outcomes, we will sum and average responses to the items to create message-level scores, then compute means across both messages within each condition for a grand mean.
Higher values are considered a better outcome.

The research data from this project will be supplied to ICPSR at the time of publication of the relevant results or at the end of the project period, whichever is sooner, so that any issues surrounding the usability of the data can be resolved.
Delayed dissemination may be possible.
The Delayed Dissemination Policy allows for data to be deposited but not disseminated for an agreed-upon period (typically one year).
IPD-toegangscriteria voor delen
