Mass Media Strategies Targeting High Sensation Seekers: What Works and Why
Stephenson, Michael T.
American Journal of Health Behavior, v27 suppl 3 pS233-S238 2003
Objectives: To examine strategies for using the mass media effectively in drug prevention campaigns targeting high sensation seekers. Methods: Both experimental lab and field studies were used to develop a comprehensive audience segmentation strategy targeting high sensation seekers. Results: A 4-pronged targeting strategy employed in an antimarijuana media campaign yielded significant drops in 30-day marijuana use by adolescents. Other research demonstrates how high and low sensation seekers process antidrug ads differently. Conclusions: Mass mediated antidrug campaigns aimed at high sensation seekers are effective tools for drug prevention.
