Extremely graphic ads meant to discourage teens from using methamphetamines may be having the opposite effect, according to a study just published in the journal Prevention Science. Last month, Miller-McCune reported on a new study that found anti-tobacco ads that combine fear and
disgust are apparently counterproductive. Now, research by psychologist
David Erceg-Hurn of the University of Western Australia suggests the
same may be true for anti-drug spots.
Starting to see a pattern here
Graphic anit-tobacco and anti-marijuana ads, studies show, have had a counter-productive effect. So what do you think the studies are going to tell us about graphic anti-crystal meth ads?
