Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of limiting the risks presented in direct-to-consumer (DTC) television ads to those that are serious and actionable, and including a disclosure to alert consumers that there are other product risks not disclosed in the ad. We plan to conduct one online 30-minute pretest with 600 individuals (200 per medical condition) who self-identify as having been diagnosed with insomnia, high cholesterol, or depression. Following the pretest, we plan to conduct 1,500 online (500 per medical condition) 30-minute surveys with adults who self-identify as having been diagnosed with insomnia, high cholesterol, or depression. In the pretest and main study, participants will view a DTC ad for their medical condition that includes either the currently used set of risks and side effects or an abbreviated set including only serious and actionable risks and side effects. Additionally, the risk presentation will either include or not include a disclosure indicating that not all risks were presented. After viewing the ad, participants will complete a questionnaire that will include measures of perceptions, attitudes, and intentions.
