GROCER Study

Study Type

Single-session discussing grocery shopping

Study Purpose

To learn more about common practices surrounding grocery shopping. We are also interested in types of technology you would consider using to help with grocery shopping.

Study Design

There are two phases of the research study. Some participants will be asked to come to The Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center for a focus group about grocery shopping. Other participants will be asked to meet researchers at a grocery store to give us feedback on materials we have created that are aimed at helping people who want to improve their health at the point of grocery shopping. Each participant will only participate in one phase of the study; each participant is only asked to meet with the researchers on one occasion. There are no follow-ups scheduled at this time.

Study Duration

One day for 1.5-3 hours

Study Benefits
