Overview

Randomised trial tests personalised feedback to reduce sugar consumption, suggesting potential effectiveness for healthier eating.

Key Points

  • This trial aims to assess whether personalised normative feedback can effectively reduce sugar consumption.
  • Pilot randomised controlled trial design
  • Assessments of sugar intake using a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ)
  • Follow-up measurements taken at two months post-intervention.
  • Change in sugar consumption was significant with a mean difference of -0.27 (95% CI [-0.43, -0.11]) maintained at two months
  • Improvements in secondary outcomes were observed except for mental well-being
  • No significant group-by-time interactions for sugar intake or other outcomes.
