Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
SSB Intention	Up to 20 minutes	Intention to consume SSBs measured by hypothetical selection of a beverage from images of beverage options.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
SSB Intention (2)	Up to 20 minutes	Measured by survey items assessing intention to consume SSBs on a scale from 1 (not at all likely) to 7 (extremely likely).
SSB attitudes	Up to 20 minutes	Measured by survey items assessing perceived healthfulness of SSBs on a scale from 1 (extremely unhealthy) to 7 (extremely healthy).
SSB knowledge	Up to 20 minutes	Measured by survey items assessing knowledge of number of calories (estimate provided by participant) and sugar (estimated by participant, in teaspoons) contained in SSBs.
SSB norms	Up to 20 minutes	Measured by survey item assessing how often participants perceive their peers to consume SSBs (1 = multiple times a day, 2 = daily, 3 = weekly, 4 = less than once a week, and 5 = never) and item on perception that people who are important to the participant would want them to limit SSB intake, on a scale from 1 (not at all) to 5 (completely) .
