Summary
This study aims to examine the effects of new front-of-package alcohol warnings on alcohol consumption. Participants will be randomly assigned to either new front-of-package health warnings or control labels. Participants will bring in their own alcohol to weekly study visits and take home the alcohol to consume as usual. Participants will receive study labels on their alcohol containers per their assigned trial arm.
Detailed description
This study aims to determine whether new front-of-package health warnings on alcohol containers lead to less alcohol consumption and improve consumer understanding about the harms of alcohol. We aim to enroll approximately 720 adults ages 21 years and older who report consuming alcohol at least once per week. After providing informed consent, participants will be randomly assigned to receive new front-of-package health warnings or control labels. Participants will attend 3 in-person study visits spaced approximately 1 week apart. Participants in the warnings arm will receive a health warning applied to the front of their alcohol containers at each of the weekly visits for a total of 3 unique warnings during the study. Warnings will be applied in counterbalanced order. Participants in the control arm will receive one label during the study. Participants will report the number of drinks they consumed daily via text message and will complete 4 computer surveys spaced approximately 1 week apart.
