“…EPPM is one of the models that is widely used to test various cases regarding persuasion messages with a fear approach, including about driving safety (Cismaru, 2014) ; (Jung & Brann, 2014) ; (Kennedy et al, 2018), healthy lifestyle and health (Moylett & Hevey, 2019) ; (Ahn & Noh, 2021) ; (Zhao & Wu, 2021) ; (Engelbrecht et al, 2022) ; (Mousavi et al, 2022), including its relation to tobacco or cigarettes (Zarghami et al, 2021) ; (Chen & Chen, 2021) ; (Hosseini et al, 2022) and e-cigarettes (Noone, 2020) ; (Escoto et al, 2021) ; (Sun et al, 2021).…”

Effective communication regarding the risks associated with electronic cigarettes is a crucial part of efforts to control their usage, and incorporating elements of fear is an effective method to achieve proper regulation. This research, utilizing content analysis methodology, examined three online news articles from Indonesian news portals: Kompas.com, IDNTimes.com, and Detik.com. The study aimed to describe how online news conveys the dangers of using electronic cigarettes using the Extended Parallel Process Model (EPPM). The research method employed was content analysis. EPPM explains how people manage the fear evoked by threat messages. There are two key factors that can explain how individuals respond to fear messages. The first factor is the perception of threat, consisting of the severity and vulnerability to the threat. The second factor is the perception of efficacy, consisting of response efficacy and self-efficacy. The research findings indicate that online news coverage prioritizes the perception of threat. Conversely, the aspect of efficacy perception still needs to be applied in reporting the dangers of electronic cigarettes. These results are also influenced by ethical codes, journalistic principles, and cultural influences.

Considering the low rate of preventive behaviors (5%), it is important to increase the effectiveness of actions that motivate the public to engage in health-promoting behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess the way in which Polish men perceive the threat of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and the effectiveness of five preventive behaviors in the context of CVDs. We aimed to identify groups of recipients, based on the extended parallel process model (EPPM), for five preventive behaviors and to compare the identified groups in terms of selected characteristics. We conducted the survey in November 2022, using the computer-assisted web interviewing technique, on a representative sample of 1,000 men aged 18–65 years. Polish men showed relatively low levels of perceived susceptibility to CVDs (15.1%), but at the same time tended to perceive the consequences of CVDs as severe (54.2%). Segmentation of audiences according to the EPPM showed that regardless of the type of preventive behavior, the most numerous groups are responsive (31–37%) and indifferent (29–31%). This study revealed the need to increase awareness of the importance of a healthy diet to prevent CVDs among male population. Less than half of the men indicated that they would be able to implement effective stress management (49.8%) and smoking avoidance (39.4%), indicating the need to implement measures to increase self-efficacy in the areas.
