To measure disparities in exposure to food/beverage websites by Hispanic youth. Observational study using market research panel data compared frequency and time spent visiting food/beverage websites and the Internet overall for Hispanic and non-Hispanic children (6-11 years) and youth (6-17 years). Hispanic children and youth, particularly Spanish-speaking youth, were less likely to visit the Internet overall, but more likely to visit food/beverages websites, compared with their non-Hispanic peers. Food and beverage company websites disproportionately appeal to Hispanic youth. Public health advocates and companies should take action to reduce Hispanic youth exposure to unhealthy food marketing online.
为衡量西班牙裔青少年接触食品/饮料网站的差异。采用市场研究面板数据进行观察性研究，比较了西班牙裔和非西班牙裔儿童（6 - 11岁）及青少年（16 - 17岁）访问食品/饮料网站的频率和时长以及总体上网情况。与非西班牙裔同龄人相比，西班牙裔儿童和青少年，尤其是讲西班牙语的青少年，总体上网可能性较小，但访问食品/饮料网站的可能性更大。食品和饮料公司网站对西班牙裔青少年的吸引力不成比例。公共卫生倡导者和公司应采取行动，减少西班牙裔青少年在网上接触不健康食品营销的机会。
