Evidence

ObservationalPositive

Online survey (n=1,901): 64% recognised the campaign; recognisers were more likely to agree vaping is not safe (aOR 2.1) and, among people who vape, more likely to be seriously considering quitting (aOR 1.6) and to have tried to quit (aOR 1.8). Cross-sectional, so exposure may be self-selected (Chan 2026).

Created 2026-10-22 by OpenAlex literature mining (openalex-deep pass); evidence level, outcome and findings are paraphrased from the evaluation abstracts, full texts not read. No credits: no page naming an agency was checked. Launch dates and sponsor from search-result summaries (AdNews, Campaign Brief, cancer.nsw.gov.au), not opened. Trade press names Bastion as the agency; not recorded as a credit because no page was opened. Uses streaming audio (Spotify) and digital display per the evaluation abstract.
