An interventional study of Social marketing campaign in Child Overnutrition, sponsored by Tufts University. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-02-06.
Sponsored by Tufts University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a messaging campaign affects the calories ordered for and consumed by children in a quick serve restaurant setting.
ChildObesity180 seeks to develop and implement a messaging campaign informed by evidence-based behavioral theory as well as perspectives from parents, children, and the restaurant industry. The campaign aims to help parents choose healthful options for their children when dining in the quick-serve restaurant setting. Aim 1 is campaign development. Aims 2 and 3 are assessment (i.e., Randomized controlled trial and revenue analysis). Hypotheses are that the messaging campaign will be associated with fewer calories ordered/consumed by children in the quick serve setting; and the campaign will not negatively impact quick serve restaurant revenue.
