“…This association, which has been found for other tobacco products as well (Sutfin et al, 2011), suggests that interventions aimed at increasing knowledge of risk may have potential for discouraging experimentation and regular use of DTPs, either in the current test markets, or nationwide, if national release takes place. There are a number of ways to convey health risks to current and potential users of tobacco products, including product warning labels, mass media campaigns, and warning signs posted at the point of purchase (Coady et al, 2012; Li et al, 2012). Under the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, the FDA has the authority to assert jurisdiction over emerging tobacco products, including DTPs (Deyton et al, 2010).…”

Background Dissolvable tobacco products (DTPs) have been introduced into test markets in the U.S. We sought to gauge level of interest in trying these products and correlates of interest among potential consumers. Methods A web-based survey of freshman at 11 universities in North Carolina (NC) and Virginia (VA) was conducted in fall 2010. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify correlates of students’ likelihood to try DTPs. Results Weighted prevalence of likelihood to try DTPs was 3.7%. Significant correlates of likelihood to try included male gender, current cigarette smoking, current snus use, sensation seeking, lifetime illicit drug use, and perceived health risk of using DTPs. Among current smokers, current snus use, current use of chewing tobacco, and considering quitting smoking were associated with likelihood to try DTPs. Conclusions While overall interest in trying these products was low, current users of cigarettes and snus were much more likely than others in trying a free sample. Some current smokers may consider DTPs to be an aid to smoking cessation, although the population-level impact of introducing these products is unknown.

“…A few items with unknown reliability (eg, tobacco products sold as single units, tobacco products advertised for less than $1, cross-product promotions and presence of signs with graphic health warnings) were included in STARS because of their relevance to state and local policymaking, such as increasing minimum package size, establishing/increasing minimum price and mandating countermarketing at the point of sale. 35 Six states (Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Oregon and Texas) volunteered to pilot test STARS in a total of ∼300 stores. The average completion time was <10 min per store (M=9.7, SD=5.6).…”

Standardized Tobacco Assessment for Retail Settings (STARS): dissemination and implementation research

et al. 2016

ObjectiveThe Standardized Tobacco Assessment for Retail Settings (STARS) was designed to characterise the availability, placement, promotion and price of tobacco products, with items chosen for relevance to regulating the retail tobacco environment. This study describes the process to develop the STARS instrument and protocol employed by a collaboration of US government agencies, US state tobacco control programmes (TCPs), advocacy organisations, public health attorneys and researchers from the National Cancer Institute's State and Community Tobacco Control (SCTC) Research Initiative.MethodsTo evaluate dissemination and early implementation experiences, we conducted telephone surveys with state TCP leaders (n=50, response rate=100%), and with individuals recruited via a STARS download registry on the SCTC website. Website registrants were surveyed within 6 months of the STARS release (n=105, response rate=66%) and again after ∼5 months (retention rate=62%).ResultsAmong the state TCPs, 42 reported conducting any retail marketing surveillance, with actual or planned STARS use in 34 of these states and in 12 of the 17 states where marketing surveillance was not previously reported. Within 6 months of the STARS release, 21% of surveyed registrants reported using STARS and 35% were likely/very likely to use it in the next 6 months. To investigate implementation fidelity, we compared data collected by self-trained volunteers and by trained professionals, the latter method being more typically in retail marketing surveillance studies. Results suggest high or moderate reliability for most STARS measures.ConclusionThe study concludes with examples of states that used STARS to inform policy change.
