Background A Delphi study was conducted to reach a consensus among international clinical and health care experts on the most important functioning self-reported concepts when evaluating switch from smoking cigarettes using smoke-free tobacco and/or nicotine products (sf-TNPs). Objective The aim of this research identify considered measure assessing status users products. Methods Experts (n=105), including professionals, researchers, policy makers, 26 countries with professional experience...
Making tobacco products associated with lower risks available to smokers who would otherwise continue smoking is recognized as an important strategy towards addressing smoking-related harm. Predicting use behavior major component of product risk assessment. In this context, perception a possible factor driving uptake and use. As prior market launch real-world actual cannot be observed, assessing can provide predictive information. Considering the lack suitable validated self-report...
Background: This was a pre-market actual use study with the Tobacco Heating System (THS), candidate modified risk tobacco product, conducted adult smokers in eight cities United States. The main goal of to describe THS adoption real-world setting. aim this analysis identify potential predictors for using stepwise logistic regression method. Methods: an observational assessing self-reported stick-by-stick consumption product compared commercial cigarettes over six weeks. aimed at replicating...
Measurement in the social sciences has been characterized by deficient justification and underdeveloped conceptual theories. Instruments supposed to measure same measurand typically do not provide comparable measurements. From perspective of metrological traceability, state affairs thus unsatisfactory. Today, better instruments can be developed as psychometrics provides tools for invariant measurement (Rasch theory), where measurements are justifiable, linear, sample-independent. Different...

To predict potential public health impact of a candidate Modified Risk Tobacco Product (MRTP) requires pre-market information on how adult consumers actually use the product under close to real-world conditions. In this context, Heating System (THS) was assessed with regard adoption, in conjunction other tobacco products, and switching back smoking cigarettes. Single group, four-week, consumer studies were conducted between 2013 2015 five countries (Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea,...

When evaluating the public health effects of novel tobacco products, such as candidate modified risk products (cMRTPs), perceptions are important they potential determinants product use. In this paper, we describe development a conceptual framework perceived risks associated with use and nicotine-containing products. We conducted literature review, held 12 focus group discussions in USA, elicited expert opinions to identify key concepts related The groups, provided evidence for...
How nicotine is administered has evolved from cigarettes to various delivery systems. Assessing perceived dependence on nicotine-containing products now requires accounting for product specificity while allowing comparisons across and users. This study aims develop a new self-report measure assess tobacco (TNPs) among exclusive poly-TNP A draft version of the measure, ABOUT-Dependence, was constructed based literature review, qualitative research, expert opinion. Data scale formation...

Abstract Measurement in the social sciences is characterised by a multitude of incompatible paradigms, most which fail to adhere fundamental principles measurement explicated metrology. This has led fragmentation instruments that are hard interpret and lack common reference. Rasch theory, metrological framework model, combined with strong substantive theories measurand, potential advance significantly. The model establishes reference standard unit against different can be calibrated ensuring...
