Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study evaluated the acceptability of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based distraction messages versus Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based acceptance messages for young adult smokers through an online experiment. A diverse panel of 301 participants rated 124 messages on content quality, design, and perceived support for coping with urges or quitting. The results indicated no significant difference in ratings between the two message types overall, though sociodemographic factors such as gender, education level, and motivation to quit influenced specific evaluations.
