An interventional study of Changed menu in Obesity, sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-01-27.
Sponsored by Carnegie Mellon University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
Participants will be exposed to a hypothetical fast food menu, asked to place a hypothetical lunch order, and will then be exposed to a second menu with several changes made to the menu. Participants will be asked to identify as many changes as possible on this second menu, and then complete a survey about their eating tendencies and demographics.
The menu with changes will feature changes to both calories and prices, allowing for measures of whether participants notice such changes and the order in which changes are noticed.
