Positive attitudes were measured on a scale of 1 (Strongly disagree) to 5 (Strongly agree), with higher mean scores indicating stronger positive attitudes. Models adjusted for covariates (age, sex, race, ethnicity, and income). M = mean, SE = standard error. Pairwise comparisons showed statistically significant differences in attitudes toward the ad and product across all three e-cigarette user groups for youth and young adults. Pairwise comparisons showed statistically significant differences in the conditions on outcomes in young adults. Young adults in the financial disclosure-only condition reported significantly higher mean scores on attitudes toward the ad than those in the both a financial disclosure + warning label condition. Young adults in the financial disclosure-only condition reported significantly higher mean scores on attitudes toward the product than those in any other condition.
