Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Perceived effectiveness

  Perceived effectiveness of the message is known to affect intention to engage in a given health behavior. Therefore, perceived effectiveness of the stimuli was assessed as a proxy measure for intention to reduce sugary beverage consumption using a 5-point, 13-item Likert scale with responses ranging from Strongly Agree=5 to Strongly Disagree=1. This scale comprised 3 subscales namely (1) Message Acceptance - 2 items, (2) Argument Strength - 4 items, (3) Personalized Perceived Effectiveness - 7 items. Greater scores on this scale represented greater levels of perceived effectiveness of the message.
