Trial Outcomes & Findings for Online Study of the Effects of Sugary Drink Warning Labels on Consumption (NCT NCT05079477)
NCT ID: NCT05079477
Last Updated: 2024-04-04
Results Overview
Logged beverage calories/100mL purchased. Number of servings per item and number of items per package varied by product; therefore, calorie amounts were standardized to calories/100mL for beverages.

216 participants
one week
2024-04-04
Participant Flow
Participants were recruited online from October 2021 to November 2022.
Of the 216 participants, 2 were pilot participants who helped us discover some necessary changes to study procedures. They were excluded from analysis along with 2 lost to follow-up, 1 who withdrew, and 22 participants who were not confirmed eligible with baseline measures, leaving 189 participants for analysis.
Participant milestones

Calorie Label
Calorie label (control) will display a calories per package label on all beverages, not just sugary drinks. This is modeled after the American Beverage Association's current "Clear on Calories" labels. Additionally, all snack items will have a calories per serving label.
Exposure to calorie information: Calories for all beverages and foods
|
Sugar Graphic Warning Label
All products in this arm will also have calorie labels. Beverages with added sugar will also have sugar graphic warning labels with the text: "WARNING: drinking beverages with added sugars contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay" along with graphics depicting the amount of sugar in the beverage.
Exposure to sugar-sweetened beverage warning labels: Graphic images of the amount of sugar (randomly assigned teaspoons, packets, or cubes) and text warning labels

The other item is: "How healthy do you think this product is for your child?" Responses to questions about weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes will be reverse coded, so higher scores on the summed index will indicate a stronger positive health perception of the beverages.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Week 4Population: Excludes 22 participants who were not eligible according to the baseline survey (although met protocol eligibility with recruitment screener). 3 participants did not have final survey data. And participants who did not answer these questions.
Summed responses to the following 7 health perception questions, 6 of which are prompted with the statement "Drinking this product often would…". The statements end with the following health belief and risk perception language: "lead my child to gain weight," "increase my child's risk of heart disease," "increase my child's risk of diabetes," "make my child feel energized," "help my child focus at school", and "help my child live a healthy life." The other item is: "How healthy do you think this product is for your child?" Responses to questions about weight gain, heart disease, and diabetes will be reverse coded, so higher scores on the summed index will indicate a stronger positive health perception of the beverages. This index ranges 7 to 49.

Calorie Label
n=93 Participants
Calorie label (control) will display a calories per package label on all beverages, not just sugary drinks. This is modeled after the American Beverage Association's current "Clear on Calories" labels. Additionally, all snack items will have a calories per serving label.
Exposure to calorie information: Calories for all beverages and foods

Sugar Graphic Warning Label
n=94 Participants
All products in this arm will also have calorie labels. Beverages with added sugar will also have sugar graphic warning labels with the text: "WARNING: drinking beverages with added sugars contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay" along with graphics depicting the amount of sugar in the beverage.
Exposure to sugar-sweetened beverage warning labels: Graphic images of the amount of sugar (randomly assigned teaspoons, packets, or cubes) and text warning labels
