Adjusted means are shown from regression models at the product level weighted to be representative of volume sold by beverage category and size in all four sites, and the two-mile buffers surrounding them, in June 2016–May 2017. Models controlled for beverage category, size, sale status, tract-level race/ethnicity, income, and poverty, and site, in addition to store type, and were clustered on store identifier with robust standard errors.
