Study on Cannabis Edibles Packaging Warnings
This study is looking at how different warning labels on cannabis edibles packaging affect people's understanding of the product. Researchers want to see if a warning about delayed effects, with or without an icon or dosing instructions, helps people understand the risks and safety better. You could be eligible if you are between 18 and 65 years old, live in the United States, and speak English. The study aims to understand how these warnings impact how appealing the product seems, how safe people think it is, and their perceived likelihood of experiencing unwanted effects. The study is currently recruiting 1250 participants, but its overall status is unclear.
- Study design
- This study involves 1250 participants who will be assigned to view different cannabis edibles packaging. Some will see no warning, while others will see various warning messages, icons, and dosing instructions.
- What's involved
- Participants will view cannabis edibles packaging and answer a series of questions. This will be measured at Minute 1 for product appeal, perceived safety, and likelihood of unwanted effects.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants' responses regarding product appeal, safety, and perceived likelihood of unwanted effects are measured at Minute 1.
