Participants viewed the front panel of RTD alcoholic beverage containers according to four label conditions: (1) NCC vs. no label, (2) NCC\u2009+\u2009HWL vs. no label, (3) HWL vs. no label, (4) no label vs. no label. When viewing each pair, participants were asked to select which product they: (a) are interested in trying, and (b) buy to reduce health risks. Responses were assessed using generalized estimating equation and logistic regression models within the overall sample and subgroups, including gender, age group, education, alcohol use, and body weight intentions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>When asked to select the product to try and to reduce health risks, participants were more likely to select the product with NCC, compared to NCC\u2009+\u2009HWL or HWL.
