Abstract: This project is designed to test consumers’ understanding of quantitative information about prescription drugs in direct-to-consumer (DTC) television ads. We plan to conduct two 20-minute surveys with adults 60 years or older. In Study 1, 900 participants will be randomly assigned to one of nine test conditions. The conditions will vary by the type of quantitative efficacy information (none, simple, or complex) and the type of quantitative risk information (none, general, or specific) in a DTC television ad for a fictitious prescription drug to treat cataracts. In Study 2, 900 participants will be randomly assigned to one of six test conditions. The conditions will vary by the type of quantitative efficacy information (none, simple) and the type of efficacy images in the ad (none, accurate improvement, overstated improvement) in the same DTC ad as in Study 1. Participants will watch the DTC television ad and then will complete a questionnaire that will include measures of recall, perceptions, attitudes, and intentions.
