Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale for Hunger 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how hungry are you right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more hunger. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
| Visual Analogue Scale for Fullness 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how full are you right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more fullness. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
| Visual Analogue Scale for Satiation 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how satiated are you right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more satiation. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
| Visual Analogue Scale for Desire to Eat 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how strong is your desire to eat right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more desire to eat. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
| Visual Analogue Scale for Prospective Consumption 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how much do you think you can eat right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more prospective consumption. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a lower mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
| Visual Analogue Scale for Satisfaction 0-240 minutes | 240 minutes | Visual Analogue Scale for how satisfied are you right now? is scored from 0-100 millimeters (mm), whereby a higher mm indicates more satisfaction. Comparing change from 0 minutes (baseline) to 240 minutes, whereby a higher mm change from baseline indicates a better outcome. |
