Sugary Drink Labeling Study
This study is looking at how different labels on sugary drinks might affect what people buy. Researchers want to see if a warning label that says "High in added sugar" (in an octagon shape) changes how much added sugar people purchase, compared to a control label (a square barcode). You would be assigned to see one of these label types on sugary drinks in a special store. The study aims to enroll about 543 adults, aged 18 or older, who have bought sugary drinks in the past week. The main goal is to measure the amount of added sugars you buy from sugary drinks over four weeks. The current status of the study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with about 543 participants. You would be randomly assigned to one of two groups: either seeing added sugar warning labels or control labels.
- What's involved
- You would attend 4 in-person study appointments, spaced about one week apart. At each visit, you would shop for beverages and complete a computer survey.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your added sugar purchases from sugary drinks will be measured once a week for up to 4 weeks, starting on the day of enrollment.

What this trial measures
- Amount of added sugars purchased from sugary drinksAssessed once a week for up to 4 weeks, starting on the day of enrollment.
