Study Summary
The researchers' mission is to promote healthier eating behavior and to reduce costs associated with healthcare. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of mailing randomly selected participants a letter promoting a plant-based diet. Depending on the experimental condition, participants may additionally receive a free documentary, Forks Over Knives, and they may also get letters which use commitment- or prevention-focused messages to encourage watching the documentary and changing their eating behavior. The researchers hypothesize that receiving the documentary will be associated with lower insurance claims and improved health outcomes one and two years later. The researchers also hypothesize that using either commitment- or prevention-focused messages will also contribute to lower insurance claims and improved health outcomes compared to experimental conditions where materials did not include these messages. This study will help the researchers design evidence-supported programs that can improve people's health.
