The electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) purchase task: Are results sensitive to price framing?

ABSTRACT: Extension of the cigarette purchase task (CPT) to electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) is complicated by the heterogeneous nature of this product class, as ambiguity exists regarding the appropriate price-frame (i.e., unit of the product being purchased). We explored correlations between ENDS purchase task (E-CPTs) outcomes featuring two common price-frames: 10 puffs and 1 mL of liquid. Adult exclusive ENDS users (N = 19) and dual users of ENDS and cigarettes (N = 16) completed two own-brand E-CPTs. One E-CPT used "10 puffs" as its price-frame; the other used "1 mL of liquid." Five outcomes were generated for each E-CPT: breakpoint, intensity, O_max, P_max, and α. Exploratory Factor Analyses (EFA) considered how these outcomes captured
