ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how different types of labels and recommendations can help people make healthier and more environmentally friendly choices when grocery shopping online. Participants will see labels that highlight either the health benefits of foods or their impact on the climate, or both. They will also receive suggestions for better food swaps. The goal is to see if these changes encourage shoppers to buy healthier and more sustainable products compared to shopping without guidance.
To participate in this study, you need to be at least 18 years old, live in the United States, and be able to read English. You should also have internet access so you can complete three online sessions for the study. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but if you qualify, you can expect to shop online in a way that helps researchers understand how to improve food choices for everyone. Your selections will be recorded, and you'll be asked to fill out some surveys about your experience.
