“…The Rethink Your Drink campaign and similar campaigns have shown promise in other states in reducing consumption of SSBs ( 25 , 32 , 33 ). Given the high rate of SSB consumption among adults with children in the home demonstrated in this study, such a targeted intervention is needed to reduce the risk of being overweight and obese ( 34 ).…”

Introduction: Consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB)s has been linked with adult and childhood obesity, an increasing health burden in the United States. The aim of this study was to examine factors associated with the consumption of SSBs among Oklahoma adults with children in the home.Methods: A random sample of 1,118 Oklahoma adults with children in the home participated in a survey about their SSB consumption between August and October, 2015. We calculated weighted prevalence estimates and examined the relationship between types of SSBs consumed and covariates of interest using logistic regression techniques appropriate for survey data. Outcome variables included three categories of SSB consumption: consuming ≥1 sugar-sweetened sodas daily, consuming ≥1 other SSBs daily, and total daily SSB consumption, defined as ≥1 SSB of any kind. Heavy consumers were those who drank ≥3 SSBs per day.Results: Almost half (44%) of adults with children in the home consumed ≥1 total SSBs daily; 29% consumed ≥1 sugar-sweetened sodas and 28% consumed ≥1 other SSBs not including soda daily. The odds of consuming ≥1 SSBs daily was four times higher among those with a high school education or less (AOR = 4.06, 95% CI = 2.34, 7.04); almost three times higher for those who perceived their diet as somewhat healthy, or not very healthy (AOR = 2.72, 95% CI = 1.27, 5.82), more than double among those aged 18–34 years (AOR = 2.41, 95% CI = 1.08, 5.40), and almost double among those who consume <8 cups of water daily (AOR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.06, 2.99).Conclusion: Because SSBs have been linked with obesity, understanding factors associated with consumption is important, especially among parents and caregivers of children. These findings have implications for developing and targeting messages to prevent SSB consumption among those most at risk.

“…Research indicates that individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (a USDA nutrition assistance program for families with low incomes) have poorer quality diets and consume fewer FV than individuals with higher incomes overall ( 8 , 9 ) . SNAP recipients are also more likely to report higher levels of SSB consumption compared with non-recipients ( 10 ) . Income-related disparities can also be seen in obesity rates ( 11 ) .…”

Objective: Evaluation of California Department of Public Health’s (CDPH) three-year social marketing campaign (Be Better) to encourage healthy eating and water consumption among SNAP-Ed California mothers. Andreasen’s social marketing framework was used to outline the development and evaluation of the campaign. Design: Quantitative, pre-post cross-sectional study with three cohorts nested within survey years. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) modeling was used to obtain population estimates of campaign reach and changes in mothers’ fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption and facilitative actions towards their children’s health behaviors. Setting: CalFresh Healthy Living (California’s SNAP-Ed) Participants: Three separate cohorts of SNAP mothers were surveyed (pre, post) between 2016 and 2018 inclusive. A total 2,229 mothers (ages 18 to 59), self-identified as White, Latina, African American, or Asian/Pacific Islander participated. Results: Approximately 82 percent of surveyed mothers were aware of the campaign as assessed by measures of recall and recognition. Ad awareness was positively associated with mothers’ FV consumption (R2=0.45), with the proportion of FVs on plates, and with behaviors that facilitate children’s FV consumption and limit unhealthy snacks and sugary drinks (βs ranged from 0.1 to 0.7). Conclusions: The campaign successfully reached 82 percent of surveyed mothers. Positive associations between California’s Be Better campaign and targeted health behaviors were observed, although the associations varied by year and media channel (i.e., television, radio, billboards, digital). Most associations between ad awareness and outcomes were noted in years two and three of the campaign, suggesting that more than one year of campaign exposure was necessary for associations to emerge.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and frequency of sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption among low-income adults in the US

Abstract: SNAP participation was associated with frequent SSD consumption. To reduce SSD consumption, strategic efforts need to focus on educating people about the harms of SSD and promoting nutritious food choices with SNAP benefits.
