Brief Summary
This clinical trial studies the health perceptions and social behaviors of Ohio State University (OSU) graduate students to develop an interactive, social norms-based approach that is effective in communicating the addictive risks of oral nicotine pouches (ONPs). The use of ONPs is rising rapidly among young adults (YA). Various factors contribute to the growing popularity of ONPs, including their affordability, accessibility both online and in physical stores, discreet use, and heavy internet advertising. However, for those who are experimenting, have tried ONPs in the past, or have never used them but are surrounded by others who do, factors like affordability and availability may not be the only reasons for initiating or continuing use. Social norms are also a significant factor influencing YA tobacco use. Peer influence on college campuses and in other social environments may encourage YA to conform to behaviors they perceive as popular or acceptable. Being surrounded by peers who use ONPs may create pressure to try them, especially as YA seek to fit in within their social circles. Studying the health perceptions and social behaviors of OSU graduate students may help researchers develop an interactive, social norms-based approach that is effective in communicating the addictive risks of ONPs.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * AIM 1: OSU graduate students aged 21 years or older * AIM 2 AND 3: Students identified in Aim 1 as susceptible to ONPs, having experimented with ONPs, or currently using ONPs-those considered at high risk for nicotine dependence-will be invited to participate in Aim 2 or Aim 3 * AIM 3: Participants in Aim 2 will not be invited to participate in Aim 3, as they will have already been exposed to the experimental stimuli
