About this study
Official title: Detecting Changes on Fast Food Menu
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Changed menuOther
After making the hypothetical choice, participants will be exposed to a menu with changed calorie and price labels, as well as several other changes.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Changed menu | Experimental | All participants will be exposed to the same changed menu after making their hypothetical choice. Changes will include reduced calorie labels, reduced prices, and changes to item descriptions. Receives: Other: Changed menu |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants who notice calorie change
Measured: Participants will have 2 minutes to notice changes on the menu
Number of participants who notice price change
Measured: Participants will have 2 minutes to notice changes on the menu
Secondary outcomes (2)
Within-participant ranking of the order in which changes were noticed
Measured: Participants will have 2 minutes to notice changes on the menu
Total number of changes noticed
Measured: Participants will have 2 minutes to notice changes on the menu
