BACKGROUND High school canteens are a recommended setting for public health nutrition intervention. The rapid uptake of online lunch ordering within school canteens provides a unique opportunity to support the purchase healthier lunch items via the use of choice architecture strategies. Despite this, no trial has tested the efficacy of choice architecture strategies within an online lunch ordering system on improving the nutritional quality of high school student lunch purchases. OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of embedding choice architecture strategies into an online lunch ordering system (menu labelling, prompts, item positioning, and feedback) on the nutritional quality of the school canteen lunch purchases of high school students (aged 12-19 years). METHODS A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted with nine high schools in one Australian state. Schools were randomized to receive either the choice architecture intervention, or usual online ordering. Nutrient quality was assessed using routine data collected by the online ordering system. Primary outcomes were the proportion of ‘Everyday’, ‘Occasional’, and ‘Should Not Be Sold’ items purchased, categorized using the state healthy canteen policy. Secondary outcomes were the mean energy, saturated fat, sugar, and sodium content of purchases. Linear mixed models were analyzed to assess outcomes. RESULTS There were significant between group differences over time for the intervention group for the mean percentage of online lunch items per student that were ‘Everyday’ (+5.5%; [95% CI 2.2, 8.9]; P <0.001) and ‘Should Not Be Sold’ (-4.4%; [95% CI -7.0, -1.8]; P <0.001). There were no between group differences over time in the mean percentage of online lunch items that were ‘Occasional’ or the average energy, saturated fat, sugar, or sodium content of lunch orders. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that a low intensity, choice architecture intervention embedded within an online ordering system can increase the purchase of healthier food items for high school students. CLINICALTRIAL This trial was prospectively registered on Open Science Framework on 23rd October 2020 as osf.io/h8zfr.

This study aimed to learn the learning outcomes of associate-degree students attending a Vocational School (VS) in a CAS-supported learning environment within the scope of the limit-continuity subject. The study was conducted using the action research method, and the worksheets prepared by Ertem Akbaş (2016) were used. While evaluating and interpreting the VS students’ learning outcomes, the SOLO taxonomy was preferred. The study group included 32 VS associate-degree students in Turkey. Within the framework of the research problem, detailed information was provided about what level of the SOLO taxonomy the students’ learning outcomes corresponded to. The learning outcomes of the VS students were found to be below the relational structure level according to SOLO taxonomy in the environment where the CAS software was used. Thanks to the CAS software, the quality of the pre-structure level and uni-structure level learning outcomes of VS students increased to and over the multi-structure level.
