We assessed public opinion on nutrition-related policies to address child obesity: a soda tax, restrictions on advertising unhealthy foods and beverages to children, and restrictions on siting fast food restaurants and convenience stores near schools. We analyzed data from 998 adults (aged ≥18 years) in the 2011 Los Angeles County Health Survey. Support was highest for advertising restrictions (74%), intermediate for a soda tax (60%), and lowest for siting restrictions on fast food restaurants and convenience stores (44% and 37%, respectively). Support for food and beverage advertising restrictions and soda taxation is promising for future policy efforts to address child obesity.
汽水税、限制向儿童宣传不健康食品和饮料以及限制在学校附近开设快餐店和便利店。我们分析了2011年洛杉矶县健康调查中998名成年人(年龄≥18岁)的数据。对广告限制的支持率最高(74%),对汽水税的支持率中等(60%),对快餐店和便利店选址限制的支持率最低(分别为44%和37%)。对食品和饮料广告限制以及汽水税的支持为未来解决儿童肥胖问题的政策努力带来了希望。
