2.1. Participants
Unmarried adults (n ¼ 296) between the ages of 18 and 30 were
recruited via public advertisements to participate in a study concerning
decision-making and health outcomes (see Table 2 for
demographic information). Participants were compensated with
$25 and an option of entering their names in a lottery for several
prizes for their participation. Data from five participants were
excluded from data analysis due to technical errors in gathering
weight data, preventing calculation of body mass index.
