5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The main purpose of the study is to look at the effect of the study drug compared to placebo on calorie intake, energy metabolism, and appetite. The study will last up to 6 months and may include up to 20 visits.
This is a randomized trial to to test the degree to which visual attention to unhealthy foods, racially congruent people, and/or "likes" in social media ads explains the relationship between ad exposure and calorie intake.
Randomized and controlled experimental study to evaluate how influencer food ads on TikTok affect calorie purchases among youth (ages 10-13). Participants will be randomized to one of two conditions: (1) seeing an influencer with food or (2) seeing an influencer without food. Participants will complete a 15-minute survey in which they will be randomized to one of two conditions and view and rate TikTok influencer ads associated with their condition. Then they will complete a food purchasing task in which they will shop in an online store that will display six food items and six beverages. Finally, they will answer demographic questions (e.g., self-reported height and weight) and view a debriefing summary that describes the full purpose of the study.
This study is a test of possible mechanisms by which calorie labels might lead people to increase calorie intake. The investigators hypothesize that calorie labels might increase calorie intake because 1) people infer that higher calorie foods are tastier, 2) calorie labels invoke thoughts of dieting, leading people to overconsume as a reaction, 3) people try to maximize calories consumed per dollar spent, and 4) calorie labels change one's goal motivation toward food, causing people to eat more.
The primary aim of this study is to investigate the impact of incorporating shortened resistance bands (SRB) into leggings on cardiovascular responses and caloric expenditure during exercise in young, healthy women. This study will employ a randomized, controlled, and double-blind crossover design involving four types of exercise: walking, climbing, rowing, and cycling. Participants will perform each type of exercise for 10 minutes while wearing either SRB leggings or leggings without SRB, with sessions on separate days and about 3 days apart. The cardiovascular and metabolic responses will be measured during and after the exercise.
