NCT01948466

Brief Summary

The overall goal of this project is to learn how positive advertising messages impact school food choices. More specifically, this study will determine if positive video messages about fruits and vegetables delivered during the elementary school morning news program can influence children to select more fruits and vegetables in a school lunch setting. Additionally, it will determine if assessing food selection is representative of food consumption by children in a school lunch room setting.
