ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how using social media might affect cravings for certain foods and the amount of ultra-processed foods that university students eat. Ultra-processed foods are items like snacks, fast food, and sugary drinks that are often less healthy. The study wants to understand if seeing food images and ads on social media makes students want to eat these kinds of foods more often. This information could help create better ways to encourage healthier eating habits among young adults.

If you are a university student between 18 and 25 years old living in Ankara, you might be able to join this study. Participants will be asked about their social media use and eating habits. To take part, you need to be willing to volunteer, able to communicate clearly, and not have any psychological disorders. This study is currently looking for volunteers, and it aims to better understand how social media influences eating choices in young adults like you.
