Among other focus areas, interventions designed to improve children's diets need to address key factors contributing to children's consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. The present study employed structural equation modelling to investigate the relationship between a broad range of predictor variables and the frequency with which Australian children consume soft drinks. In total, 1302 parents of children aged 8 to 14 years responded to an online survey about their children's food consumption behaviours. Soft drink consumption frequency was primarily influenced by parents' attitudes to soft drinks, children's pestering behaviours, and perceived social norms relating to children's consumption of these products. Importantly, pestering and social norms had significant direct effects on consumption frequency in addition to indirect effects via their impact on parents' attitudes to soft drink.
在其他重点领域中，旨在改善儿童饮食的干预措施需要解决导致儿童饮用含糖饮料的关键因素。本研究采用结构方程模型来调查一系列广泛的预测变量与澳大利亚儿童饮用软饮料的频率之间的关系。共有1302名8至14岁儿童的家长回应了一项关于其子女食物消费行为的在线调查。软饮料消费频率主要受家长对软饮料的态度、儿童的纠缠行为以及与儿童消费这些产品相关的感知社会规范的影响。重要的是，纠缠行为和社会规范除了通过对家长对软饮料的态度产生影响而产生间接影响外，还对消费频率有显著的直接影响。
