Brief Summary

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

This study aims to examine the effects of marketing claims on alcoholic beverage packaging on alcohol consumers' perceptions and intentions. Participants will be randomized to view three images of alcoholic beverages (beer, hard seltzer, flavored malt beverage) with one of three marketing claims (or a no claim control), and then queried about their perceptions of the product and intentions to consume the product.

Detailed Description

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

This study aims to assess whether exposure to common marketing claims on alcoholic beverages impact alcohol consumer's perceptions of and intentions to consume the product. We aim to enroll approximately 1,500 adults ages 21 years and older who have consumed alcohol in the past year.

This study will be conducted online. After providing informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to one of four conditions: either one of three marketing claims, or a no-claim control.

Participants view three alcohol products (beer, hard seltzer, and flavored malt beverage) in a random order within their assigned condition. After viewing each product, they will respond to survey items assessing their perceptions and intentions to consume the product.
