aOnly considers caregivers that fully completed both baseline and follow-up assessments. At baseline, there were 3 partial completers and 1 nonresponder. At follow-up, there were 2 partial completers and 5 nonresponders. Participants were considered partial completer if they did not respond to all 3 assessment questions and if missing data were not considered in the calculations for changes in consumption category and personalized strategy choice.

bCategories were assigned based on responses to assessment. Caregivers and adolescents were considered consumers if SSB intake was ≥2 to 3 times per week.

cCaregivers who were consumers or had an adolescent that was a consumer were given the choice between strategies. Nonconsumers received positive reinforcement messages or were asked for some tips they would give other families.
