The effect of healthier menu item price reductions in the out-of-home food sector on energy purchased and consumed: a restaurant-based pilot experiment

Larger studies with inclusion of a control group (e.g., randomised controlled trials) are now needed to confirm intervention effects and whether they are equitable across different socioeconomic groups.
