Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Participants will be asked to select a hypothetical lunch from a menu that features entrees, sides, and drinks. Participants will be able to select a maximum of 1 item from each category. Following this meal selection, participants will complete a short survey about their demographics, their estimates of information about the meal and about recommended eating habits.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The presence or absence of calorie labels on the hypothetical lunch menu will be randomly assigned to participants. Participants will first be randomly assigned to either the numeric label survey or the light label survey, and then within that survey, participants will be randomly assigned to either a control (no label), an item-level label, or an item-level and meal-level label condition.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control 1

Participants in this group will see a menu labeled with prices, but will not observe calorie information. Used as a comparator for numeric labeling conditions.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Numeric individual

Features Item-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Item-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information identifying the calorie content of individual items will be provided, as would be done on a restaurant menu board.

Numeric individual + aggregate

Features Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Additionally, an aggregated numeric calorie count for the entire meal will be dynamically updated as items are added or removed from the meal.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Item-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information identifying the calorie content of individual items will be provided, as would be done on a restaurant menu board.

Meal-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information from the calorie content of individual items that have been selected by the participant will be dynamically aggregated and presented as a "Total Calories" label on the menu screen.

Control 2

Participants in this group will see a menu labeled with prices, but will not observe calorie information. Used as a comparator for light labeling conditions.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Light individual

Features Item-Level Calorie information. Traffic light calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Item-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information identifying the calorie content of individual items will be provided, as would be done on a restaurant menu board.

Light individual + aggregate

Features Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information. Traffic light calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Additionally, an aggregated traffic light label for the entire meal will be dynamically updated as items are added or removed from the meal.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Item-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information identifying the calorie content of individual items will be provided, as would be done on a restaurant menu board.

Meal-Level Calorie information

Intervention Type OTHER

Information from the calorie content of individual items that have been selected by the participant will be dynamically aggregated and presented as a "Total Calories" label on the menu screen.
