Policy Recommendations to Address Energy Drink Marketing and Consumption by Vulnerable Populations in the United States
This commentary defines energy drink products, describes the marketing strategies used to promote these products, and explores the potential safety, health risks, and prevalence related to their use. It also discusses actions taken by government and other stakeholders to address energy drink marketing to vulnerable populations in the United States, and explores US progress to implement recommended actions between 2009 and 2019. Vulnerable populations are defined as individuals or groups who are at higher risk of dietary and health disparities due to economic disadvantage, age, gender, race or ethnicity, cultural identity, or common risk behaviors.Dietary and Weight-Related Behaviors and Body Mass Index among Hispanic, Hmong, Somali, and White Adolescents
The population of the United States is becoming increasingly ethnically and racially diverse, much of it due to immigration patterns. However, little is known about dietary intake and weight-related concerns and behaviors of youth from some ethnic-minority groups, especially Hispanic, Hmong, and Somali adolescents.Adolescent Fruit and Vegetable Intake: Influence of Family Support and Moderation by Home Availability of Relationships with Afrocentric Values and Taste Preferences
Economically disadvantaged African-American adolescents have fruit and vegetable (F/V) intakes that are less than optimal. To facilitate intervention planning to address low F/V intake in this population, an understanding of determinants of youths' intake is needed. The influence of determinants consistently supported by evidence (ie, home F/V availability, F/V taste preferences, and parental modeling/intake) and variables hypothesized to influence intake in the targeted population (ie, family support for F/V consumption and Afrocentric values) were examined.
