Note. There were significant interactions between coupon and ad type for perceived drug efficacy likelihood and risk recall in Study 1 and for benefit recall in Study 2. In Study 1, benefit recall = 0-6 correct, benefit recognition = 0-9 correct, risk recall = 0-10 correct, and risk recognition = 0-10 correct. In Study 2, benefit recall = 0-4 correct, benefit recognition = 0-8 correct, risk recall = 0-7 correct, and risk recognition = 0-8 correct. For measures in both studies, perceived benefit likelihood = 0-100 people, perceived benefit magnitude = 1-7 (not at all effective to very effective), comparative benefit = 1-4 (strongly disagree to strongly agree), perceived risk likelihood = 0-100 people, perceived risk magnitude = 1-7 (not at all serious to very serious), comparative safety = 1-4 (strongly disagree to strongly agree), and intention to search/try and intention to switch = 1-4 (not at all likely to 4 extremely likely).
