Health-first motivation as a demand-side strategy for pro-environmental consumption behavior: a cross-sectional retrospective online survey.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Traditional environmental campaigns often struggle to achieve sustained behavioral shifts in reducing single-use products and their associated chemical exposure. This study examines whether sustained exposure to a health-centered social-media initiative, "Critical Mass for Healthy Consumption", is associated with reported pro-environmental consumption patterns, by prioritizing personal health impacts over ecological concerns. Methods: Using an online survey, we compared consumer habits between community members (CM) and non-community members (NCM) across three categories: single-use cups for cold (SUCC) and hot (SUCH) beverages, and air fresheners. Results: CM reported significantly lower consumption of SUCC (11.4 cups/month, 95% CI: 10.5-12.3, Discussion: Our findings suggest that health-oriented communication may function as a stand-alone driver of behavior change in under-addressed product categories and that sustained health-oriented communication, enabled by digital community support and accessible alternatives, may act as an effective demand-side public health strategy to reduce chemical exposures and encourage pro-environmental behavior. Thereby, providing an empirical "Health-First" framework for integrating health-centered messaging, community-based platforms, and labeling schemes, into public health policy and education can promote safer, more sustainable consumption patterns.
