The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between knowledge of daily calorie recommendations and the amount of SSBs consumed in a large, economically and racially diverse sample of adults recruited at selected Metro subway and bus shelters in Los Angeles County. In June 2012, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health conducted street intercept surveys to assess food attitudes and consumption behaviors and public opinions related to a recent 8-week health marketing campaign targeting SSB consumption. Descriptive and comparative analyses were conducted, including a negative binomial regression model, to examine the relationship between knowledge of the daily calorie recommendations and the amount of SSBs consumed. Among survey respondents ( n = 1,041), less than one third correctly identified the daily calorie recommendations for a typical adult. After controlling for sociodemographics and weight status, respondents who correctly identified recommended calorie needs reported, on average, drinking nine fewer SSBs per month than respondents who did not. Results suggest that efforts to reduce SSB consumption might benefit from the inclusion of educational interventions that empower consumers to make healthy choices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1090198114529128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,10]],"date-time":"2014-04-10T00:42:47Z","timestamp":1397090567000},"page":"431-439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Relationship Between Nutritional Knowledge and the Amount of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Consumed in Los Angeles County"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Lauren N.","family":"Gase","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brenda","family":"Robles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noel C.","family":"Barragan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tony","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Los Angeles, CA, USA"},{"name":"David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1090198114529128","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2008.151415"},{"key":"bibr2-1090198114529128","volume-title":"Bubbling over: Soda consumption and its link to obesity in California","author":"Babey S.
