Summary

Purpose: The overall purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a suite of environmentally focused nudges on the nutritional quality of consumers' food selections.

Participants: \~2,000 US adults ages 18-25, at least 25% currently enrolled full-time in college, recruited from CloudResearch Prime Panels.

Procedures: Participants will be randomly assigned to view food products with or without environmental nudges (eco-labels, peer comparison message, and swaps). They will be asked to select items that they most wish to purchase and will then be asked a series of questions about the products and nudges. Questions will also include standard socio-demographic variables.

BEHAVIORAL

Environmental nudges

Participants will view protein, frozen meal, and snack products with eco-labels applied. For each category, they will then be instructed to select 1 item from that category they wish most to purchase. Categories will be shown in random order. If a participant selects a product with a red eco-label, they will be shown a peer comparison message and will be given an opportunity to switch to a product with a yellow or green eco-label.
