Brown, Jane D.; And Others
Health Education Quarterly, v17 n3 p299-306 Fall 1990
Recognition of radio and television antismoking messages was measured in 6 treatment and 4 control cities. A survey of 574 adolescents found high recognition of messages even in areas where they were not broadcast, reinforcing the need for true control groups and distinctive messages to ensure validity in mass media evaluation.
