Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.

^aDetermined by the question, “Which of the following conditions do you think are related to drinking sugary drinks, such as regular sodas, fruit drinks (eg, Kool-Aid, lemonade), sports or energy drinks (eg, Gatorade, Red Bull), and sweetened teas?”

^bWeighted percentage may not add up to 100% because of rounding.

^cχ² tests were used for each variable to examine differences across categories. Although both responses (yes/no) of SSB-related knowledge were included in χ² tests, the percentage answering yes are only presented in the Table 2.

^dP ≤.05 based on χ² test.

^eWidowed, divorced, separated, or never married.

^fBased on BMI (kg/m²): underweight/normal weight, BMI <25; overweight, BMI 25 to <30; Obese, BMI ≥30.

^gBased on years living in the United States, language spoken at home, cultural self-identification, and use of Spanish language media.
