Dr. Meade conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of a nudge campaign (using posters with health-warning labels) on healthier snack choices in a corporate cafeteria. She recorded the number of healthy snacks purchased over a one-week period while the posters were displayed. She did not measure purchases before the posters were introduced, and there was no control group.
