“…We found that nearly all articles included non-White children. Some articles focused exclusively on minority children, including 20 that focused specifically on African American children (52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71); 19 that focused on Hispanic children (72)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85)(86)(87)(88)(89)(90); six that focused on Native American, Alaskan Native or American Indian children (91)(92)(93)(94)(95)(96); and one that focused on Asian or Asian-American children (97). These articles may serve as references to evaluators wishing to assess beverage consumption in these populations, although evaluators should attend to whether the assessment methods described in these articles have been ...…”

“…A number of questionnaires have been validated in diverse populations (i.e. at least half of children in the sample were non-White) (56,77,86,(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102). Research has documented notable disparities in healthy beverage consumption across racial/ethnic and income groups, with minorities and lowincome children tending to consume more SSBs and less plain water and unsweetened, low-fat milk than do White and higher-income children (11,50,51,103,104).…”

Beverage consumption habits are associated with weight outcomes for children and adolescents. Many studies have examined youth's beverage consumption, but little is known about what methods are commonly used to assess youth beverage consumption and whether these strategies are valid and reliable. This study aimed to systematically review articles assessing beverage consumption among children and adolescents. We searched PubMed and Scopus for English-language articles published between February 2007 and February 2017 that measured and reported on American youth's (ages 2-18 years) beverage consumption. Searches yielded 17,165 articles, of which 589 articles describing 615 measures were extracted. We examined the types of assessment methods used, characteristics of these methods (e.g. validity, reliability, and literacy level), characteristics of study samples, and beverages assessed. The most common assessment methods were questionnaires/screeners (used by 65.4% of articles) and recalls (24.4%). About three-quarters of articles did not address validity (70.5%) or reliability (79.5%) of any measures used. Study populations were diverse: 54.7% of articles included low-income children, and 90.2% included non-White children. The most commonly assessed beverage category was sugar-sweetened beverages. Findings suggest that improved measurement techniques and reporting are both needed to track progress towards a goal of ensuring all youth have healthy beverage consumption.

“…The Niños Sanos, Familia Sana study evaluated the program with a 26-item child nutrition survey related to consumption in the past month of specific foods or beverages and four items related to child feeding practices. These items were tested in studies in Mexican and Mexican-American households (Vera et al 2016;Kaiser et al 2015). In these studies, interviewers asked parents how often their children ages 3 to 8 years old consumed each of the foods or beverages; ate with an adult; had a regular schedule of meals and snacks; and skipped meals.…”
