目的：本研究旨在深入了解儿童对含糖饮料的看法。设计：在小学五年级和六年级进行了九个焦点小组。设置：加拿大安大略伦敦的九所城市和农村小学。参与者：51名儿童，其中58%为男性，52%为5年级，84%为白人。感兴趣的现象：儿童对含糖饮料的看法。分析：三名研究人员使用浸泡结晶法的原理对数据进行了独立的归纳内容分析。结果：参与者对饮料及其对健康的影响有很高的认识，主要是针对糖含量。影响儿童饮料选择和消费模式的主要因素包括口味、父母控制做法、可及性和广告。与会者确定了广泛的战略，以减少SSB消费的儿童，包括儿童和家长的教育策略和政策层面的变化，在政府和学校level.Conclusions和影响：尽管高层次的认识SSB，儿童认为，进一步的教育和政策，关于SSB是必要的。这些数据可能有助于设计针对儿童和父母的有效干预措施，以减少儿童对SSB的消费。
Objectives: This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of children's perceptions of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs).Design: Nine focus groups were conducted in grade 5 and 6 elementary schoolchildren.Setting: Nine urban and rural elementary schools in London, Ontario, Canada.Participants: Fifty-one children, 58% of which were male, 52% of whom were in grade 5, and 84% of whom were Caucasian.Phenomenon of Interest: Children's views on sugar-sweetened beverages.Analysis: Three researchers conducted inductive content analysis on the data independently using the principles of the immersion-crystallization method.Results: Participants had a high level of awareness of beverages and their health effects, which was primarily targeted at the sugar content. Dominant factors that influenced children's beverage choices and consumption patterns included taste, parental control practices, accessibility, and advertising. Participants identified a wide array of strategies to reduce SSB consumption in children, including educational strategies for both children and parents and policy-level changes at both the government and school levels.Conclusions and Implications: Despite a high level of awareness of SSBs, children believed that further education and policies regarding SSBs were warranted. These data may prove helpful in designing effective interventions targeted at children and parents to reduce SSB consumption by children.
