This study is conducted by researchers in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.

We’re looking for volunteers to take part in a study investigating how people perceive and evaluate health-warning messages designed to promote healthy eating. This study is part of an important research program designed to investigate which health intervention strategies could be used to effectively curb Australia’s rising obesity rates. By taking part, you have the opportunity to influence this pressing public health issue.

If you choose to participate, you will be asked to evaluate a series of health warnings (comparable to those that appear on cigarette packets) and answer some simple questions about your eating habits. The study will be conducted online, and the total time commitment will be no longer than 45 minutes. You will have a chance to win an iPad Air 2 (16GB) in return for your participation.

If you are interested in participating, the online study is available at http://tinyurl.com/nak35p8.
