Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Perceived effectiveness of availability plus size interventions at reducing calorie intake measured as a composite variable using the mean of two items on a 7-point response scale at a single timepoint

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Perceived effectiveness of the interventions individually measured as a composite variable using the mean of two items on a 7-point response scale for each intervention at a single timepoint 2. Acceptability of interventions measured using a single item on a 7-point response scale for each intervention individually, and both together, at a single timepoint 3. Subjective comprehension of the interventions measured as a composite variable using the mean of two self-rated items on a 7-point response scale at a single timepoint 4. Recall of the intervention content measured from three possible correct answers from two questions (scored from 0-3) at a single timepoint
