Definition: Estimated percentage of children ages 2-17 who drank one or more sodas or other sugar-sweetened beverages in the previous day (e.g., in 2015-2016, 40.4% of California children had drunk one or more sugar-sweetened beverages in the past day).
Data Source: UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, California Health Interview Survey custom tabulation (Mar. 2018).
Footnote: These estimates are based on a survey of the population and are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. Data from 2013-2014 and later may not be comparable with data from earlier years because of changes in question wording. The notation S refers to data that have been suppressed because the sample size was lower than 50, the percentage was less than 0.1, or the estimate was suppressed by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research. Data may have wide margins of error and should be treated with caution. N/A means that data are not available.
