Table 2.

Participants’ mean (SD) desired portion sizes, perceptions of peers’ desired portion sizes, frequency of consumption, liking and intentions regarding participants’ high-energy-dense snack and sugar-sweetened beverage intake for intervention 1.

aFor desired portion size, a value of 1 refers to the recommended portion size for HED snacks and the typical portion for SSBs. A number greater than 1 indicates the ‘desired’ portion size is greater than the recommended portion, and a number smaller than 1 indicates that the ‘desired’ portion size is smaller than the recommended portion.

bIndicates a significant difference between baseline and intervention end.

cFrequency of consumption was measured on a 6-point Likert-style scale from once per month or never to daily. Liking was measured on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly dislike to strongly like.

dIntentions were assessed on a 5-point Likert-style scale from completely disagree to completely agree.

HED: high-energy-dense; SSB: sugar-sweetened beverage.
