  1. Anti-smoking radio and television advertisement ratings: Kenya, Nigeria and Senegal Preliminary top-line quantitative findings

  2. Objectives • Evaluate existing anti-smoking television and radio ads in low- and middle- income African countries, including Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal • Ads that have tested well in high-income countries should also perform well in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) in Africa • If so, LMICs may be able to adapt existing anti-smoking advertisements for mass media campaigns at a lower cost than creating new ads

  3. Aims • The primary aim of the study is to assess the comprehension, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of existing anti-smoking television and radio advertisements in two locations in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal • Also aim to examine whether non-smokers and smokers respond similarly to these ads • Within each country and across countries

  4. Method: Advertisements Five radio ads were tested in each country. They were:

  5. Method: Advertisements Five television ads were tested. They were:

  6. Method: Sample • Kenya and Nigeria: • 20 groups of approximately 10 adult non-smokers • 16 groups of approximately 10 adult smokers • 2 locations: Nairobi and Eldorat (Kenya), Lagos and Abuja (Nigeria) • Senegal: • 12 groups of approximately 10 adult non-smokers • 12 groups of approximately 10 adult smokers • 1 Location: Dakar • Results from a second location (Saint Louis) will be available at a later date • All materials were translated and presented in appropriate local language/s for each country

  7. Method: Sample • Non-smokers: those who do not currently smoke and have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime • Smokers:daily smokers who have smoked for at least 1 year • Note: M=Mean, SD=Standard deviation

  8. Method: Sample: Non-smokers

  9. Method: Sample: Smokers

  10. Method: Procedure Participants were presented with each ad twice • They then gave ratings about the extent to which they agreed or disagreed with 14 statements about the ads: • Measured on a 5-point scale: 1 ‘strongly disagree’ 5 ‘strongly agree’ All participants answered:

  11. Method: Procedure

  12. Analysis • The adjusted proportion of participants that gave a positive response on each of the outcomes was calculated separately for each country, and separately for smokers and non-smokers • Analyses adjusted for the effects of: • Order of ad presentation, location of testing, and language • Age, gender, and socioeconomic status • Parental status and highest level of education attained • Living with a smoker and whether smoking is allowed inside home • Having a TV and/or radio at home • For smokers: Daily cigarette consumption, intention to quit smoking in the next 12 months, previous quit attempts

  13. Analysis For Kenya and Nigeria, the percentage of participants that agreed or strongly agreed with each item for each ad was analysed Due to a high positive response bias in Senegal, the percentage of participants that strongly agreed with each item for each ad was analysed

  14. Ad Rating Results: Radio Advertisements

  15. Non-smokers: Understand * • Overall, Coughing Child was rated as the most understandable ad in all three countries (equal with Suffering in Kenya) • The ads that were rated lowest on Understand were Industry Spokesman (Nigeria and Senegal) and Emphysema Sufferer Keith (Kenya)

  16. Smokers: Understand • Consist with the non-smoker results, Coughing Child was also rated as the most understandable ad in all three countries by smokers • Again consistent with the non-smoker results, the ads that were rated lowest on Understand were Industry Spokesman (Nigeria and Senegal) and Emphysema Sufferer Keith (Kenya)

  17. Non-smokers: Perceived effectiveness * • The pattern of responses was very similar across the three countries • Coughing Child was the highest rated ad on measures of perceived effectiveness in all three countries • Likewise, the same ad Industry Spokesman, was rated lowest in all three countries

  18. Smokers: Perceived effectiveness • Smokers responses were very consistent with non-smokers • Coughing Child highest rated ad on measures of perceived effectiveness in all countries for smokers • Again consistent with the non-smoker results, Industry Spokesman was the lowest rated ad three countries for smokers

Smokers: Uncomfortable • The highest rated ad in Nigeria was Suffering and the highest rated ad in Senegal was Coughing Child • In Kenya, three ads (Suffering, Coughing Child, and Bronchoscopy) received equally strong ratings • The lowest rated ad overall was Industry Spokesman, however, in Senegal four ads received equally poor ratings

  21. Non-smokers: Anti-Industry and Support for government actions * • For both Kenya and Senegal, Industry Spokesman was the highest rated ad on the anti-industry/government support measures, in contrast to Nigeria where Coughing Child was highest • Emphysema Sufferer Keith and Bronchoscopy tended to be rated lowest across all three countries

  22. Smokers: Anti-Industry and Support for government actions • In Kenya and Senegal, consistent with the non-smoker results, the highest rated ad was Industry Spokesman • In contrast, Suffering was the highest rated ad in Nigeria • Emphysema Sufferer Keith was the lowest rated ad on the anti-industry/government support measures in all three countries

  23. Non-smokers: Commitment to avoid tobacco * • Coughing Child was the highest rated ad in all three countries on measures of commitment to avoid tobacco • Industry Spokesman was the lowest rated ad in all three countries • Across all countries, all ads were rated strongly – above 75%

  24. Smokers: Self-efficacy • There was some differentiation in ad performance between countries • Overall, the highest rated ad in Nigeria and Senegal was Coughing Child, in contrast to Suffering in Kenya • The lowest rated ad in Kenya and Nigeria was Industry Spokesman(equal with Bronchoscopy in Kenya) and the lowest rated ad in Senegal was Suffering

  40. Non-smokers: Discuss • On the item Discuss, there was very little differentiation in ad ratings in Nigeria – all above 85% • In Kenya and Senegal, the highest rated ad was Baby Alive (equal with Industry Revealed in Kenya) • The lowest rated ad in Kenya was Break the Chain and the lowest rated ad in Senegal was Lung

  41. Smokers: Discuss ~ ~ • On the item Discuss, there was no meaningful differentiation in ad ratings in Senegal • In both Kenya and Nigeria, the highest rated ad was Baby Alive (equal with Industry Revealed in Kenya) • The lowest rated ad in Kenya and Nigeria was Break the Chain

  42. Conclusions • Within each country, the ads that performed best among non-smokers also showed strong performance in smokers • In all three countries, the most successful radio ad was Coughing Child – consistently highest overall for both smokers and non-smokers • Overall, the most successful television ad in all three countries was Baby Alive – however, it was not always highest for smokers • Lung performed slightly better than Baby Alive for smokers in Nigeria • Industry Revealed performed slightly better than Baby Alive for smokers in Senegal

  43. Conclusions In Kenya and Nigeria, the poorest performing radio ad was Industry Spokesman Likewise, in both Kenya and Nigeria, the poorest performing television ad was Break the Chain (with Industry Revealed in Kenya) Reviewing only the smaller sample from one location in Senegal, currently no single ad appears to be performing significantly more poorly than the others

  44. Conclusions • No important pattern of differences between demographic sub-groups were found (i.e. gender, age, socio-economic status) in any country • Ads focusing on negative health effects of smoking on children and on the individual, tend to perform most successfully in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal • Qualitative reports from Kenya and Nigeria indicate that the least successful ads tend to be those that have execution issues, including issues with the ad script, or those that use unfamiliar or complex terms without definitions • Both the anti-industry ads in particular showed these comprehension and acceptance issues
