a

Composite consumption based on screener with four questions, which ask about consumption of each SSB type separately: soda, sweetened coffee/tea, sports/energy drinks, fruit drinks.

b

One question screener which asked about the combined consumption of beverage types: soda, fruit drinks, sports/energy drinks, and other SSBs.

c

Standard error.

d

Weighted kappa statistic to determine strength of agreement between the two SSB screeners.

e

Using the 4-question screener, frequency of daily SSB intake differed significantly across categories of this demographic factor (Rao-Scott chi-square p-value <0.05).

f

Using the 1-question screener, frequency of daily SSB intake differed significantly across categories of this demographic factor (Rao-Scott chi-square p-value <0.05).

g

Weight status was based on body mass index: <25.0 is normal or underweight, 25.0 to 29.9 is overweight, and ≥30.0 has obesity.
