In Aim 1, we will use existing research and expert review to develop new text and pictorial LCC warnings and test the new warnings using online experiments to identify warnings that adult LCC users perceive as most effective. The proposed study will fill critical gaps regarding which characteristics make LCC warning labels most effective and provide needed evidence on how LCC warnings influence LCC behavioral intentions. Our overarching goal is to develop effective LCC warnings that reduce cancer and other health risks.

Why have our societies become so polarized? How deeply are we divided? And what is the role of social networks in bridging as well as deepening these divides? This study focuses on local communities in North Carolina to understand political change in America and beyond. In particular, we are interested in how people in their church congregation experience political and social change. This is because churches are pillars of local community life in North Carolina. We reach out to local faith leaders across the spectrum of Christian churches to get their take on how their congregation grapples with the issues of our time. This is part of a comparative study across several Western societies.
