Brief Summary

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

This study aims to assess whether different message framing about front-of-package labeling policies elicits more policy support than the control (no framing) among Latino and limited English proficiency populations. The study also seeks to identify which message framing elicits the most policy support.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will complete a between-subjects online randomized experiment. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 arms: 1) No framing (control), 2) Information framing, 3) Healthier choices framing, and 4) Industry framing. In each arm, participants will view 1 message developed for their randomly assigned arm and indicate their policy support.

Study Groups

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

Control (No framing)

Participants will view one message about the front-of-package labeling policy. The message will display the same introductory sentence as all experimental arms, but it will not include a framed message about the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Information framing

Participants will view one message that frames the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as providing nutritional information.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exposure to information framing message

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The information framing message presents the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as providing nutritional information.

Healthier choices framing

Participants will view one message that frames the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as encouraging consumers to make healthier choices.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exposure to healthier choices framing message

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The healthier choices framing message presents the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as encouraging consumers to make healthier choices.

Industry framing

Participants will view one message that frames the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as encouraging the food industry to make healthier products.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Exposure to industry framing message

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The industry framing message presents the objective of the front-of-package labeling policy as encouraging the food industry to make healthier products.
