Study Summary
The pervasiveness of high-calorie, nutrient-poor snacks in the environment is believed to have contributed to the epidemic levels of obesity and cardiometabolic disease in the U.S. This project tests whether a novel snack vending machine system that uses brief time delays to reduce the immediacy of reward from unhealthy snacks will improve the healthfulness of snack choices. If successful, this project will identify a new environmental intervention that could contribute substantially to obesity and cardiometabolic disease prevention efforts in schools, worksites, and other settings.
Primary Outcome
For each experimental condition, we will calculate the proportion of healthy vs unhealthy snacks sold over 4 weeks.
Interventions
- OTHER Time delays on delivery of less healthy snacks
- OTHER 25%/$0.25 discount on healthy snacks
- OTHER 25%/$0.25 tax on less healthy snacks
