Abstract

Introduction: Sugar-‐sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is associated with many health problems, such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Objectives: To identify adolescents’ beliefs concerning SSB abstinence. Methods: Based on the Reasoned Action Approach, thirty semi-‐structured interviews were conducted with adolescents (12-‐17 years). They were selected based on age, sex and setting in order to ensure a broad representation of adolescents from two French-‐speaking regions of the province of Quebec in Canada (Eastern Canada). Adolescents were invited to answer eight open-‐ended questions regarding SSB abstinence in the next month. A qualitative content analysis was performed independently by two experts to identify the most important beliefs. Result: According to adolescents, the main advantage of abstaining from SSB was that it would be good for their health and the main disadvantage was that they would have to give up products they liked drinking for the taste. Parents and friends seemed to be the most important social influences regarding abstaining from SSB. Adolescents mentioned many barriers to SSB abstinence, such as contextual barriers (e.g., special occasions, eating out, following sports activities), the presence of SSB drinkers, advertisements promoting SSB, and the urge to drink SSB. Facilitating factors included absence of SSB at home/school, having easy access to water and pure fruit juices, and receiving information about the negative health effects of SSB. Discussion and conclusions: The results of this preliminary study can be used to guide the development of interventions to promote SSB abstinence among adolescents.

青少年戒除含糖饮料的信念:一个理性行为方法的启发研究

介绍:含糖饮料(SSB)的消费与许多健康问题有关，如肥胖和心血管疾病。目的:了解青少年对SSB禁欲的看法。方法:基于理性行动方法，对30名青少年(12- 17岁)进行了半结构化访谈。他们是根据年龄、性别和环境选择的，以确保来自加拿大魁北克省(加拿大东部)两个法语区青少年的广泛代表性。青少年被邀请在下个月回答8个关于SSB禁欲的开放式问题。由两位专家独立进行定性内容分析，以确定最重要的信念。结果:对青少年来说，戒掉SSB的主要好处是对他们的健康有好处，主要坏处是为了口味而放弃他们喜欢喝的产品。父母和朋友似乎是最重要的社会影响，以避免SSB。青少年提到了许多阻碍他们戒掉SSB的障碍，如情境障碍(如特殊场合、外出就餐、体育活动后)、SSB饮酒者的存在、促销SSB的广告以及喝SSB的冲动。促进因素包括家里/学校没有SSB，容易获得水和纯果汁，以及了解SSB对健康的负面影响。讨论与结论:本初步研究结果可用于指导制定促进青少年SSB戒断的干预措施。
