NCT ID NCT07625969
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether showing health warnings, tasty-sounding labels, or both can encourage 1,000 Chinese college students to pick sugar-free drinks over sugary ones. Participants will make drink choices on a platform, and researchers will track which options they select. The goal is to see if these simple nudges can promote healthier beverage habits.
