Abstract
We conducted a longitudinal randomized controlled experiment between September 2021 and May 2022 to evaluate whether anti-tobacco industry beliefs and attitudes mediate the effect of culturally tailored anti-smoking messages on quit intentions among US young adult sexual minority women (SMW) ages 18-30 who smoke. Participants were randomized to view up to a total of 20 tailored versus non-tailored messages over one month. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and one-month follow-up. We fit a structural equation model testing the effect of LGBTQ + community-tailored, anti-smoking messages on quit intentions and mediating roles of anti-industry attitudes and beliefs (n = 966). Anti-industry beliefs (indirect effect size = 0.024, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.040, 0.056]) and attitudes (indirect effect size = 0.034, 95% CI = [0.006, 0.077]) significantly mediated the effect of the tailored condition on quit intentions. These findings suggest that LGBTQ + -tailored cues in anti-smoking messaging may promote quit intentions indirectly through influencing young adult SMW's beliefs and attitudes about the tobacco industry. Future campaigns to promote quitting among young adult SMW who smoke should consider incorporating themes to change their beliefs and attitudes about the tobacco industry.Trial registration This study was registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04812795) on 24/03/2021.
