Pilot Testing of Food Images in Children

NCT03338634 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: Pilot Food Images
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 400
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This is a single, un-replicated visit to the Children's Metabolic Kitchen and Eating Behavior Lab designed to gather data on children's responses to images used in MRI studies. Additionally, a demographic questionnaire for parents will be piloted.

Conditions

Childhood Obesity; fMRI

Keywords

Portion Size Effect; Childhood Obesity; fMRI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pilot Image Description by Children

  Once the child is comfortable in our lab and consent has been received, they will be shown a total of 150 - 200 pictures of foods and non-food objects (e.g. office supplies). They will also be shown control images that are blurred or scrambled versions of the test images. After each picture, children will be instructed answer questions about the image (ex. what is this image, how much do you like it, how large is it, etc.)
