ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring ways to help college students choose healthier drinks, focusing specifically on reducing sugary beverage consumption. Researchers are testing three different "nudging" strategies: sharing information about how much sugar is in sugary drinks, highlighting the negative effects of these drinks, and showing that most students prefer mineral water. By comparing how many students choose sugary drinks versus water after these interventions, the study aims to find effective ways to encourage healthier drinking habits.
If you are a college student aged 18 or older and interested in participating, you can join this study. There are no specific health requirements to take part, just a willingness to help researchers understand how to promote better beverage choices among students. Participants can expect to be part of an experiment where they will see these different nudging strategies in action and share their beverage choices afterward. This study is currently looking for volunteers, so if you fit the criteria and want to be part of this important research, you can sign up!
