Study Title:

Perceptions of Health Effects, Belief Formation, and Barriers to Adoption of Natto: An Anonymous Online Survey

What is this study?

This is a research study examining how adults perceive natto (fermented soybeans), including consumption patterns, perceived health effects, barriers to adoption, and the sources of information that shape health beliefs about natto. The study additionally explores how individuals weigh different types of evidence and authority when forming dietary health beliefs.

Why am I being asked to participate?

☐  Your experiences eating natto (if applicable)

☐  How often and how you prepare or consume it

☐  Your reasons for eating or avoiding it
