Notes. SSBs = sugar-sweetened beverages. kcals = kilocalories. tsp. = teaspoons. g = grams. c. = cups. SNAP = Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Annual household income is per capita. Regression coefficients are unstandardized and therefore represent the amount of change in the outcome in raw units for a one unit change in the predictor. For example, controlling for all predictors in the fully adjusted model, participants who had a college degree reported consuming 23.32 fewer kcals of SSBs over a 24-hour period than participants without a college degree.

a

Partially adjusted multivariate models in the first half of the table include all store types as predictors and do not include sociodemographic characteristics. Partially adjusted multivariate models in the second half of the table include all sociodemographic characteristics as predictors and do not include store types.

b

The fully adjusted multivariate model includes all store types and sociodemographic characteristics shown in the table as predictors.
