Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In a randomized experiment, about 543 adults who reported drinking at least one sugary beverage in the past week will be assigned to see either added-sugar warning labels or control labels on drinks in an experimental store. Participants will attend four in-person visits about one week apart, shop for beverages in the store, and complete computer surveys at each visit. Investigators will record in-store purchases and self-reported measures to compare the amount of added sugar purchased between groups. Randomization occurs at scheduling and labels are applied to drinks per the assigned arm throughout the visits.
