FDA Tobacco Prevention Broad Quantitative Research Package

Electronic Screener for Adult Participants

Overview:

Recruitment will be conducted online through an online panel provider. Individuals from a diverse range of racial/ethnic groups and socioeconomic backgrounds are eligible to participate. Recruitment will continue until a representative sample of the required number of participants for each group is obtained. An existing panel participant database that generates lists of individuals who have voluntarily signed up to participate in research will be used to identify individuals interested in research participation.

The research team has demonstrated capability in recruiting individuals from diverse demographic backgrounds. The time necessary to complete this survey is an average of five minutes per response for adults.

Before recruiting begins, all recruiters will attend training to ensure the screening procedures are administered consistently.
