FoodImage Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Phase 2: RCT Food Waste ReductionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Phase 2 will occur in participants' natural environment (free-living conditions). Participants will use the FoodImage app to capture data on food purchases, food waste that occurs during food preparation, food waste that is present after eating, and food waste from food purges. Participants will use the app to record food waste for approximately 4-7 days over the subsequent week. They will also be provided with the following: Feedback on the amount of food waste their household created during the first week, A goal to reduce the next week's food waste by 20% or more, and Tips on how to reduce household food waste adapted from current consumer campaigns
Group II: Phase 2: RCT Stress ManagementActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will use the FoodImage app to capture data on food purchases, food waste that occurs during food preparation, food waste that is present after eating, and food waste from food purges in free-living conditions. Participants will capture baseline data for 4-7 days. After a 1-week break, participants will use the app to record food waste for approximately 4-7 days over the subsequent week. They will also receive information on stress management
Group III: Phase 1: Lab Testing (Visit 1, Day 0)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants will test the FoodImage App and Pen-and-paper Records with in a Laboratory Kitchen. Participants will use the FoodImage app and food records to measure food waste during simulated shopping trip and kitchen clean-out. Measurements will be collected by participants with both methods while lab personnel directly weigh foods to provide the criterion value.
