Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the mediating effects of family support for dietary habits and family meal frequency on the relationship between acculturation and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among Latinx adolescents (N = 131). Acculturation was positively associated with SSB consumption (B = 0.07, P < .01). Results suggest that family support for dietary habits and family meal frequency did not mediate the relationship between acculturation and SSB consumption. However, acculturation was negatively associated with family support for dietary habits (B = -0.10, P < .01) and family meal frequency (B = -0.11, P < .05). Future research should examine other family influences as mediators of the relationship between acculturation and SSB consumption.Entities:
