| Abstrakt: | Vaping prevention messages are widely used to communicate the health harms and addiction risks of vaping and discourage vaping among adolescents and young adults. We conducted a meta-analysis of experimental studies to examine the effects of these messages and to understand their theoretical mechanisms. Systematic, comprehensive searches generated 4,451 references, among which 12 studies (cumulative N = 6,622) met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Across these studies, a total of 35 different vaping-related outcomes were measured, and 14 outcomes assessed in two or more independent samples were meta-analyzed. Results showed that compared to control, exposure to vaping prevention messages led to higher vaping risk perceptions, including harm perceptions (d = 0.30, p <.001), perceived likelihood of harm (d = 0.23, p <.001), perceived relative harm (d = 0.14, p =.036), addiction perceptions (d = 0.39, p <.001), perceived likelihood of addiction (d = 0.22, p <.001), and perceived relative addiction (d = 0.33, p =.015). Also, compared to control, exposure to vaping prevention messages led to more vaping knowledge (d = 0.37, p <.001), lower intentions to vape (d = −0.09, p =.022), and higher perceived message effectiveness (message perceptions; d = 0.57, p <.001; effects perceptions; d = 0.55, p <.001). Findings suggest vaping prevention messages have an impact, yet may operate through different theoretical mechanisms than cigarette pack warnings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
