Use of implementation science in tobacco control intervention studies in the USA between 2000 and 2020: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Despite continuing efforts to reduce tobacco use in the USA, decline in smoking rates have stalled and smoking remains a major contributor to preventable death. Implementation science could potentially improve uptake and impact of evidence-based tobacco control interventions; however, no previous studies have systematically examined how implementation science has been used in this field. Our scoping review will describe the use of implementation science in tobacco control in the USA, identify relevant gaps in research and suggest future directions for implementation science application to tobacco control.

Assessing cigarette packaging and labelling policy effects on early adolescents: results from a discrete choice experiment.

Introduction: Cigarette packaging is a primary channel for tobacco advertising, particularly in countries where traditional channels are restricted. The current study evaluated the independent and interactive effects of cigarette packaging and health warning label (HWL) characteristics on perceived appeal of cigarette brands for early adolescents in Mexico.

Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted with early adolescents, aged 12-14 years (n=4251).
