Multivariable associations between sociodemographic and dietary variables and sugar-sweetened beverage tax perception among a nationally representative sub-sample (largest sample n 1996) from the Nutrinet-Santé cohort study, France, 2012: perception of the economic impact variables
| Imposing a tax on sweetened beverages would increase prices and reduce purchasing power (n 1996) | A tax on sweetened beverages would be unfair because poor people would still need to pay the same amount as the rich (n 1960) | I support imposing a tax on sweetened beverages only if the prices of other foods and beverages (which are good for health) go down (n 1951) | |||||||||||||
