“…In the case of a significant overall difference for measures with more than two levels, we performed additional comparisons using Bonferroni adjustments. In addition, we fitted two design-based multiple logistic regression models, similar to the previously discussed models (Soulakova et al, 2018a; Ha and Soulakova, 2017; Villanti et al, 2015). Both models included all explanatory factors and survey mode (phone, in-person).…”

In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the sale of flavored cigarettes (excluding menthol) in the U.S. However, the sale of flavored e-cigarettes (FE) and flavored hookah tobacco (FHT) is still legal. In this study (conducted in the US in the period from October 2018 to February 2019), we estimated the prevalence of use of FE and FHT across users' sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race/ethnicity) and identified the key characteristics of tobacco users associated with use of FE and FHT. We analyzed the 2014–2015 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey data for current e-cigarette (n = 3691) and hookah tobacco (n = 658) users. Among e-cigarette users, 65.5% used FE; and among hookah tobacco users, 87.3% used FHT. Among e-cigarette users, the prevalence of use of FE was significantly higher for 18–24 year-old than 45+ year-old adults; women than men; Southern than Northeastern residents; and never smokers of regular cigarettes than current smokers of regular cigarettes (all adjusted p's < 0.05). Among hookah tobacco users, the rates of FHT use were significantly higher for women than men, and never smokers of regular cigarettes than current smokers (all adjusted p's < 0.05). Because availability and accessibility of flavored tobacco products may promote tobacco use, revising regulatory guidelines concerning manufacturing and distribution of FE and FHT may help reduce the popularity of emerging tobacco products. Implications Among users of emerging tobacco products such as e-cigarettes and hookah tobacco, use of flavored products is very common. Among e-cigarette users, 66% consumed flavored e-cigarettes; and among users of hookah tobacco, 87% consumed flavored hookah tobacco. Use of flavored products was especially common among users who were young adults, women, or never and former smokers of regular cigarettes. Availability of emerging tobacco products in many different flavors could be a reason for tobacco use initiation and continued use of tobacco after cessation of regular-cigarette smoking.

“…For mode effects, the sixth predictor, a common but not universal finding is that, compared to face-to-face or live telephone interviews, online surveys have a lower quality of responses (i.e., more "satisficing") but are also cheaper and less affected by social desirability (Atkeson, Adams, and Alvarez 2014;Bowyer and Rogowski 2015;Ha and Soulakova 2018;Lind et al 2013;Kreuter, Presser, and Tourangeau 2008). Assuming that switching answers are a form of socially undesirable behavior, higher switching rates are predicted for online surveys; lower switching rates are predicted for face-to-face interviews; live Taking Another Look at Counterarguments: When do Survey Respondents Switch their Answers?…”

Taking Another Look at Counterarguments: When do Survey Respondents Switch their Answers?

Counterarguments are an often asked but little studied question format. In this format, a respondent first offers an opinion to a question, and depending upon that answer, is then asked one or more additional questions each with information that might cause a respondent to switch his or her earlier answer. In past studies, a third to a half of respondents typically switched their original answer. This meta-analysis of all the identifiable counterarguments from iPOLL's online archive reports that switching occurs at different rates across different issues. Switching also most often occurs if respondents favored the prior question, if questioning occurs later during the survey, and if other counterarguments were previously asked of a respondent. Mode and house effects also appear.

“…The goal of this study was to evaluate the racial/ethnic disparities in the associations between the type of coverage (private, Medicare, Medicaid) and current smoking among U.S. adults (18+ years old). To address this goal, we considered a number of factors that may influence smoking behaviors among adults: (1) sociodemographic characteristics including age, biological sex, marital status, highest level of education, annual family income, metro/non-metro area of residence, and U.S. region [3,9], (2) disability status [2,19], and (3) the TUS survey (administration) mode when examining smoking-related behaviors using the TUS data [20,21]. We hypothesized that after adjusting for these important factors, (H1) smoking prevalence would be lower overall among adults with private and Medicare coverage but higher overall among adults with Medicaid coverage, relative to adults with no such coverage, and (H2) the interactions between the race/ethnicity and each coverage type would be significant as the predictors of current cigarette use.…”

The goal of this study was to assess the joint role of race/ethnicity and a health insurance coverage type (private, Medicare, Medicaid) in current cigarette use among adults in the U.S. Data from the 2019 Tobacco Use Supplement and the 2019 Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey were merged (n = 39,882). Bivariate associations between each coverage type and smoking prevalence were examined within each of six racial/ethnic groups. A multiple logistic regression model (for the odds of current cigarette use) was estimated to explore the interactions between race/ethnicity and an indicator of each type of coverage among Hispanic, non-Hispanic (NH) Black/African American, and NH White adults. All analyses included survey weights. Results of bivariate analyses indicated that private and Medicare coverage were associated with significantly lower smoking prevalence (compared to no such coverage), while Medicaid coverage was associated with significantly higher smoking prevalence (all p ≤ 0.05). Some of these associations were significant among NH Black/African American and NH White adults (all p ≤ 0.05). The model indicated that the interaction between race/ethnicity and the indicator of private coverage was significant (p = 0.044): private coverage was significantly associated with lower prevalence among NH White adults only (AOR = 0.59, 98.3%, CI = 0.46:0.76). In addition, Medicaid coverage was significantly associated with higher smoking prevalence (overall). The study points to possible racial/ethnic disparities in the quality of smoking-related health care that people with the same type of coverage receive and possible underutilization of health care services even among adults with health insurance coverage, especially among communities of color and Medicaid enrollees.
