Brief Summary:
The aim is to undertake a cluster randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of PACE food labelling in reducing young people's purchasing of discretionary foods in secondary school canteens. Physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) food labelling aims to show the number of minutes or miles/kilometres of physical activity equivalent to the calories contained in food/drinks.
Detailed Description:
Physical activity calorie equivalent (PACE) food labelling aims to show the number of minutes or miles/kilometres of physical activity equivalent to the calories contained in food/drinks. Evidence suggests that PACE food labelling may influence food/drink choice. Most research in this area however have tested PACE food labels with adults and/or have tested hypothetical food choice scenarios. Studies in real world contexts with young people are needed to see if PACE food labels could help them make healthier food choices.
The aim is to assess the effectiveness of PACE food labelling in reducing young people's purchasing of discretionary foods in secondary school canteens. A cluster randomised controlled trial with a nested qualitative study will be conducted. Secondary schools will be randomised to either display PACE labelling near discretionary foods or continue with their usual practice. The intervention period will be up to 6 weeks. Anonymised purchase data will be collected throughout the study period.
Qualitative interviews will be conducted with students in the intervention schools to explore their views of the PACE labels such as perceived influence of the PACE labelling on their food selection.
