We propose to administer a 10 minute
survey using internet technology to 1200 persons 18 to 24 years of
age who are participants in an internet panel. The survey will
include images of Canadian cigarette packs with their current
warning labels and questions about reactions to these warnings,
including acceptability, and perceived usefulness (perceived impact
on starting to smoke or deciding to quite). The results of this
study will be shared with policy makers and public health
officials.
