- Lead Sponsor
- University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
- Brief Summary
This study aims to assess whether different message framing about front-of-package labeling policies elicits more policy support than the control (no framing) among Latino and limited English proficiency populations. The study also seeks to identify which message framing elicits the most policy support.
- Detailed Description
Participants will complete a between-subjects online randomized experiment. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 arms: 1) No framing (control), 2) Information framing, 3) Healthier choices framing, and 4) Industry framing. In each arm, participants will view 1 message developed for their randomly assigned arm and indicate their policy support.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Support for the front-of-package labeling policy, proportion During exposure to intervention (i.e., message about policy), assessed during one-time online 10-minute survey. Policy support will be assessed with 1 item: "How much would you support or oppose this policy?" This item will be measured on a 4-point scale ranging from (1) "Strongly oppose this policy" to (4) "Strongly support this policy", where higher scores indicate higher support for the front-of-package labeling policy. The final outcome will be dichotomized so that 0=Oppose this policy and 1=Support this policy.
