“…Past research suggest that attitudes change in favor of a policy after its implementation (Diepeveen et al, 2013;Fong et al, 2006;Hilton et al, 2007;Thrasher, Boado, Sebrié, & Bianco, 2009;Thrasher, Pérez-Hernández, Swayampakala, Arillo-Santillán, & Bottai, 2010). This suggests that implementing a policy measure in one domain may increase the acceptance of the same policy measure in another domain.…”

“…In recent years, Mexico successfully implemented pictorial warning label requirements for cigarette packaging and an increase in cigarettes tax, which might have contributed to reduction in population level cigarette consumption (Saenz-deMiera et al, 2010;World Health Organization, 2011). However, implementations of smoke-free policies and cessation support services have been relatively ineffective and weak (Borland et al, 2012;Thrasher, Boado, Sebrie, & Bianco, 2009). For example, a population-based survey of smokers conducted in 15 countries, including 5 middle-income countries, found that Mexico rated among the worst in access to smoking cessation counseling from medical providers, and Mexican smokers had no access to telephone quitlines (Borland et al, 2012).…”

introduction: Injection drug use and cigarette smoking are major global health concerns. Limited data exist regarding cigarette smoking behavior and quit attempts among injection drug users (IDUs) in low-and middle-income countries to inform the development of cigarette smoking interventions. We conducted a cross-sectional study to describe cigarette smoking behavior and quit attempts among IDUs in Tijuana, Mexico.

“…Participants in the post-market sample were randomly selected from seven cities (Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara, Puebla, Tijuana, Mérida, and Léon) using a stratified, multistage sampling strategy with face-to-face interviews. 13 Within the urban limits of seven cities, census tracts and then block groups were selected with likelihood of selection proportional to the number of households according to census data. Households were selected in random order and visited up for four times to enumerate household members and recruit eligible adult smokers (who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and smoked at least once a week).…”

Introduction: Studies examining cigarette package pictorial health warning label (HWL) content have primarily used designs that do not allow determination of effectiveness after repeated, naturalistic exposure. This research aimed to determine the predictive and external validity of a premarket evaluation study of pictorial HWLs. Methods: Data were analyzed from: (1) a pre-market convenience sample of 544 adult smokers who participated in field experiments in Mexico City before pictorial HWL implementation (September 2010); and (2) a post-market population-based representative sample of 1765 adult smokers in the Mexican administration of the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Survey after pictorial HWL implementation. Participants in both samples rated six HWLs that appeared on cigarette packs, and also ranked HWLs with four different themes. Mixed effects models were estimated for each sample to assess ratings of relative effectiveness for the six HWLs, and to assess which HWL themes were ranked as the most effective. Results: Pre-and post-market data showed similar relative ratings across the six HWLs, with the least and most effective HWLs consistently differentiated from other HWLs. Models predicting rankings of HWL themes in post-market sample indicated: (1) pictorial HWLs were ranked as more effective than text-only HWLs; (2) HWLs with both graphic and "lived experience" content outperformed symbolic content; and, (3) testimonial content significantly outperformed didactic content. Pre-market data showed a similar pattern of results, but with fewer statistically significant findings. Conclusions:The study suggests well-designed pre-market studies can have predictive and external validity, helping regulators select HWL content.
