Trial Outcomes & Findings for Encouraging Healthy and Sustainable Dietary Substitutions (NCT NCT06175026)

NCT ID: NCT06175026

Last Updated: 2024-11-12

Results Overview

Participants will rate each message on perceived message effectiveness (PME) for encouraging participants to make the target dietary substitution. PME will be assessed with 4 items \[the text shown in brackets will be tailored to each substitution\]: 1. How much does this message discourage you from wanting to \[eat beef and pork / drink juice / drink cow's milk / drink sugary drinks\]? 2. How much does this message make \[eating beef and pork, etc.\] seem unpleasant to you? 3. How much does this message make you concerned about the effects of \[eating beef and pork, etc.\]? 4. How much does this message make you want to \[eat chicken or vegetarian options instead of beef and pork, etc.\]? The response options for each item are: 1=Not at all, 2=Very little, 3=Somewhat, 4=Quite a bit, 5=A great deal. Investigators will average responses to these 4 items to create a perceived message effectiveness score. Higher scores indicated higher perceived message effectiveness.

Health Messages
Messages shown will be related to the health impacts of making certain dietary substitutions (replacing beef with chicken and vegetarian entrees; replacing juice with whole fruit; replacing dairy milk with non-dairy milk; replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water). Health messages: Participants view messages about the health impacts of certain dietary substitutions.
Environment Messages
Messages shown will be related to the environmental impacts of making certain dietary substitutions (replacing beef with chicken and vegetarian entrees; replacing juice with whole fruit; replacing dairy milk with non-dairy milk; replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water). Environmental messages: Participants view messages about the environmental impacts of certain dietary substitutions.
Health and Environment Messages
Messages shown will be related to the health and environmental impacts of making certain dietary substitutions (replacing beef with chicken and vegetarian entrees; replacing juice with whole fruit; replacing dairy milk with non-dairy milk; replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water). Health and environmental messages: Participants view messages about the health and environmental impacts of certain dietary substitutions.
Neutral Messages
Messages shown will be neutral and unrelated to the health or environmental impacts of making certain dietary substitutions (replacing beef with chicken and vegetarian entrees; replacing juice with whole fruit; replacing dairy milk with non-dairy milk; replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water). Neutral messages: Participants view neutral messages unrelated to the health and environmental impacts of certain dietary substitutions.
