About this study
Participants will be asked to select a hypothetical lunch from a menu that features entrees, sides, and drinks. Participants will be able to select a maximum of 1 item from each category. Following this meal selection, participants will complete a short survey about their demographics, their estimates of information about the meal and about recommended eating habits.
Read the detailed description
The presence or absence of calorie labels on the hypothetical lunch menu will be randomly assigned to participants. Participants will first be randomly assigned to either the numeric label survey or the light label survey, and then within that survey, participants will be randomly assigned to either a control (no label), an item-level label, or an item-level and meal-level label condition.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Item-Level Calorie informationOther
Information identifying the calorie content of individual items will be provided, as would be done on a restaurant menu board.
Meal-Level Calorie informationOther
Information from the calorie content of individual items that have been selected by the participant will be dynamically aggregated and presented as a "Total Calories" label on the menu screen.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control 1 | No intervention | Participants in this group will see a menu labeled with prices, but will not observe calorie information. Used as a comparator for numeric labeling conditions. |
| Numeric individual | Experimental | Features Item-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Receives: Other: Item-Level Calorie information |
| Numeric individual + aggregate | Experimental | Features Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information. Numeric calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Additionally, an aggregated numeric calorie count for the entire meal will be dynamically updated as items are added or removed from the meal. Receives: Other: Item-Level Calorie information; Other: Meal-Level Calorie information |
| Control 2 | No intervention | Participants in this group will see a menu labeled with prices, but will not observe calorie information. Used as a comparator for light labeling conditions. |
| Light individual | Experimental | Features Item-Level Calorie information. Traffic light calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Receives: Other: Item-Level Calorie information |
| Light individual + aggregate | Experimental | Features Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information. Traffic light calorie labels will be featured on individual items, along with prices. Additionally, an aggregated traffic light label for the entire meal will be dynamically updated as items are added or removed from the meal. Receives: Other: Item-Level Calorie information; Other: Meal-Level Calorie information |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Measured: 5 minutes after presentation of information
Calories per category
Single survey presentation, measure of calories per entree, calories per side, and calories per drink selected, collected as people select meal
Measured: 5 minutes after presentation of information

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Participants will be asked to select a hypothetical lunch from a menu that features entrees, sides, and drinks. Participants will be able to select a maximum of 1 item from each category. Following this meal selection, participants will complete a short survey about their demographics, their estimates of information about the meal and about recommended eating habits.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Item-Level Calorie information and Meal-Level Calorie information in people with Not Condition-specific, run by University of Pennsylvania.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Calories ordered (time frame: 5 minutes after presentation of information). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2019.
