Abstract

Low SES individuals engage in disease-causing behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and unhealthy eating more often than affluent individuals. Using a dietary decision-making task, we show that low SES participants choose healthy foods less often than high SES participants, opening the door to explore mechanisms and interventions in future work.
