School Health Profiles 2014. Characteristics of Health Programs among Secondary Schools.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2015
http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/data/profiles/pdf/2014/2014_profiles_report.pdf
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with state and local education and health agencies, developed the School Health Profiles to measure school health
policies and practices. In this report, data on drinking water and other beverage topics are available, including the types of beverages available for purchase and whether a free source of drinking water is offered in specific locations, if teachers instructed
on the benefits of drinking plenty of water, and if the school encouraged students to drink plain water.

This study assessed prevalence and patterns of price promotions for food and beverage products in a nationwide sample of food stores by store type, product package size, and
product healthfulness as well as associations of price promotions with community characteristics and product prices. This study used in-store data collected in 2010–2012 from 8,959 food stores in 468 communities across 46 US states.

Assessment of a districtwide policy on availability of competitive beverages in Boston Public Schools, Massachusetts, 2013.
Mozaffarian RS, Gortmaker SL, Kenney EL, Carter JE, Howe MC, Reiner JF, Cradock AL.
Prev Chronic Dis. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26940299
This study described availability of competitive beverages after the introduction in 2004 of district-wide nutrition standards for competitive beverages sold in
Boston Public Schools using 2013 data from 115 schools. Overall, 89.6% met the competitive beverage nutrition standards; 88.5% of elementary schools and 61.5% of middle schools did not sell competitive beverages.
Lunchtime school water availability and water consumption among California adolescents.
Bogart LM, Babey SH, Patel AI, Wang P, Schuster MA.
J Adolesc Health. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26552740
This study examined availability of free drinking water during lunchtime at school and its association with water intake among 2,665 adolescents aged 12–17 years
using the 2012 and 2013 California Health Interview Survey data. While lunchtime water availability at school was associated with water intake, a quarter of adolescents reported that free drinking water was not available at lunch.
Ten-year beverage intake trends among US preschool children: rapid declines between 2003 and 2010 but stagnancy in recent years.
Ford CN, Ng SW, Popkin BM.
Pediatr Obes. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25728132
This study examined trends in consumption of beverages (including sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and water) and how eating location and source may have contributed
to the changes among children aged 2–5 years using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. Although changes in intake happened mainly between 2003–2004 and 2009–2010, there were no significant changes in beverage intake between
2009–2010 and 2011–2012.
Association between student purchases of beverages during the school commute and in-school consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, San Francisco Bay Area, 2013.
Grummon AH, Oliva A, Hampton KE, Patel AI.
Prev Chronic Dis. 2015.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26679489
This cross-sectional study explored where low-income, ethnically diverse students get the SSBs they consume during school lunchtime and examined whether students
who purchase beverages while traveling to and from school are more likely to drink SSBs during school lunchtime among 597 middle school students. This study found that buying SSBs during the school commute was significantly related to SSB intake during school
lunch time.
Insufficient sleep among elementary and middle school students is linked with elevated soda consumption and other unhealthy dietary behaviors.
Franckle RL, Falbe J, Gortmaker S, Ganter C, Taveras EM, Land T, Davison KK.
Prev Med. 2015.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25712328
This study examined associations between sleep duration and diet quality (including SSBs and water) among 1,870 students who were enrolled in the Massachusetts Childhood
Obesity Research Demonstration Project. Students who had inadequate sleep (<10 hours/day) consumed regular soda more frequently, while water intake was not associated with sleep duration.
Implementation of competitive food and beverage standards in a sample of Massachusetts Schools: The NOURISH Study (Nutrition Opportunities to Understand Reforms
Involving Student Health).
Hoffman JA, Rosenfeld L, Schmidt N, Cohen JF, Gorski M, Chaffee R, Smith L, Rimm EB.
J Acad Nutr Diet. 2015.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26210085
This observational cohort study examined the extent to which a sample of Massachusetts middle and high schools sold foods and beverages that were compliant with
the state competitive food and beverage standards after one year of implementation. Data were collected from 37 school districts before implementation (Spring 2012) and from 29 school districts after 1 year of implementation (Spring 2013).
Adults
Prevalence of sugar-sweetened beverage intake among adults - 23 States and the District of Columbia, 2013.
Park S, Xu F, Town M, Blanck HM.
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26914018
This study examined the state-level prevalence of SSB intake among 157,668 adults in 23 states and the District of Columbia using 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance
System data. The overall age-adjusted prevalence of SSB intake at least once daily was 30.1% and ranged from 18.0% in Vermont to 47.5% in Mississippi. Generally, at least once daily SSB intake was most predominant among adults aged 18-24 years (43.3%), men
(34.1%), non-Hispanic blacks (39.9%), unemployed adults (34.4%), and persons with less than a high school education (42.4%).
Plain water consumption in relation to energy intake and diet quality among US adults, 2005-2012.
An R, McCaffrey J.
J Hum Nutr Diet. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26899737
This cross-sectional study examined associations between plain water intake and energy intake and diet quality among 18,311 adults using the 2005–2012 NHANES data.
One percentage point increase in the proportion of daily plain water in total dietary water intake was related to a decreased daily intake of total energy and energy from SSBs.
Rethink Your Drink: Reducing sugar-sweetened beverage sales in a children's hospital.
Hartigan P, Patton-Ku D, Fidler C, Boutelle KN.
Health Promot Pract. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26933007
This study described the development, implementation, and results of a focused intervention to reduce SSB sales within a children’s hospital in San Diego. Beverage
sales data were collected for 3 months prior to intervention, during the 12-month intervention, and for 4 months after the intervention ended. Sales revenue for all beverages remained constant. The Rethink Your Drink intervention resulted in a decrease in
SSB sales and an increase in sales of healthier beverage choices.
The influence of sugar-sweetened beverage health warning labels on parents' choices.
Roberto CA, Wong D, Musicus A, Hammond D.
Pediatrics. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26768346
This study examined how SSB health warning labels may affect parents and which labels are most impactful among 2,381 parents via an online survey.
Significantly fewer parents selected an SSB for their child in the warning label condition (40%) versus the no label (60%) and calorie label conditions (53%).
Factors associated with self-reported menu-labeling usage among US adults.
Lee-Kwan SH, Pan L, Maynard LM, McGuire LC, Park S.
J Acad Nutr Diet. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26875022
This cross-sectional study explored the prevalence of menu-labeling usage and examined sociodemographic, behavioral, and policy factors associated with menu-labeling
usage among 100,141 adults using 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data from 17 states. The odds of being frequent menu-labeling users were 2.5 times higher among non-SSB consumers than daily SSB consumers.
Intake of high-fructose corn syrup sweetened soft drinks, fruit drinks and apple juice is associated with prevalent arthritis in US adults, aged 20-30 years.
DeChristopher LR, Uribarri J, Tucker KL.
Nutr Diabetes. 2016.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26950480
This cross-sectional study examined associations between excess free fructose beverage intake and non-age, non-wear and tear-associated arthritis among 1,209 young
adults aged 20–30 years using 2003-2006 NHANES data. Frequent intake of excess free fructose beverages (e.g., high-fructose corn syrup sweetened soft drinks) was significantly related to arthritis in young adults.
