The population comprised of children between the ages of 13 and 18 years who watched television adverts. The study was conducted on a sample of 230 respondents of which 202 responses, representing 87.83% response rate were received and useable. Data were collected using questionnaire. Convenience and purposive sampling techniques were adopted in selecting respondents. The data were analyzed using IBM Statistical Packages for Social Sciences with the use of multiple linear regressions.
