Abbreviation: SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.

^an = 964.

^bDetermined 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?”

^cSSB intake was calculated by adding 4 types of SSBs (ie, regular soda, fruit drink, sports/energy drink, and sweetened coffee/tea drink).

^dThe outcome variable was SSB intake, and the exposure variables were knowledge of SSB-related health conditions. The reference category was SSB intake of <1 time/day. Because of potential collinearity issues among 6 exposure variables, 6 multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to include each exposure variable separately and controlled for age, sex, education level, marital status, annual household income, weight status, census region of residence, country of origin, and acculturation.
