	“My local tap water is safe to drink”	“Water fountains in my school are clean and safe to drink from”

Non-Hispanic white	1.3 (0.8, 2.2)	0.9 (0.6, 1.3)

Hispanic	1.2 (0.5, 3.2)	0.5 (0.2, 1.3)
	Multivariable ORs for daily SSB intake (≥ 1 time/day)*,†
All respondents	1.0 (0.6, 1.5)	1.0 (0.7, 1.4)
Non-Hispanic white	0.9 (0.6, 1.6)	0.9 (0.6, 1.3)
