本研究是关于卡路里标签立法在社区餐馆(n=649)和大学生(n=316)样本中的可能效用的调查。目前只有48%到66%的参与者查看了食品标签，有73%到73%的人能够准确地报告日常卡路里需求的知识。此外，44%至57%的受访者表示，如果餐馆提供食品标签信息，他们不太可能使用这些信息。因此，关注卡路里要求的公众教育活动可能需要先于餐厅标签，也许还应该考虑其他标签形式的可能性(例如，将食物定义为“低”、“中”和“高”卡路里)。
This study was an investigation of the possible utility of calorie labeling legislation in restaurants in community (n=649) and college student (n=316) samples. Only 48% to 66% of participants presently looked at food labels, and 64% to 73% were able to report accurate knowledge of daily caloric needs. Furthermore, 44% to 57% reported that they were not likely to use food label information in restaurants if it were available. Therefore, public education campaigns focused on calorie requirements may need to precede restaurant labeling, and perhaps other possibilities in labeling formats should be considered (eg, defining foods as "low," "moderate," and "high" calorie).
