Correct and incorrect responses to the sugar content of common breakfast cereals at baseline and post-intervention (n = 62) and 3–4 months follow-up (n = 17).

Notes: 1 N for baseline and post-intervention was 62; 2 N for follow up was 17; C, correct percentage; IN, incorrect percentage; NR, no response. Based on a scale value: low sugar, medium sugar, and high sugar content, where: cornflakes = medium sugar; plain porridge = low sugar; coco pops = high sugar; crunchy nut cornflakes = high sugar; rice krispies = medium sugar; Weetabix = low sugar. No statistically significant changes between baseline and post-intervention for all cereals.
