Food Choices Clinical Trial
Official title:
Examining Influence of Facebook Ads on Black and White Adolescents' Food Choices
This is a randomized trial to examine the influence of race-congruent food marketing on social media among Black and White adolescents.
The overall objective of our three studies is to identify the extent to which exposure to Facebook food ads increases the number of calories purchased and consumed by Black and White adolescents. Guided by strong preliminary data, the study team will test three aims: 1)To evaluate the extent to which exposure to racially congruent vs. incongruent Facebook food ads causes Black vs. White adolescents to purchase more calories for a snack; 2)To determine the extent to which exposure to many vs. few "likes" on Facebook food ads causes Black and White adolescents to purchase more calories for a snack; and 3)To test the degree to which visual attention to unhealthy foods, racially congruent people, and/or "likes" in Facebook ads explains the relationship between ad exposure and calorie intake. ;
