Employed US Adults' Support for Food and Beverage Worksite Wellness Strategies and Sugar‐Sweetened Beverage Intake during the Workday

Daily sugar‐sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is high among US adults and associated with obesity. Given that over 100 million Americans consume food or beverages at work daily, the worksite may be a venue for interventions to reduce SSB consumption. However, the level of support for these interventions is unknown. We examined the associations between workday SSB intake and employees' support for worksite wellness strategies (WWS) among 1,924 employed adults (蠅18 years) using 2013 Summer ConsumerStyles data. The exposure variable was workday SSB intake (0, <1 or 蠅1 times/day). Outcome variables were employees' support (yes/no) for the following WWS: 1) Accessible Free Water, 2) Affordable Healthy Food/Drink, 3) Available Healthy Options, and 4) Less Available SSB. Multivariable logistic regression was used to control for sociodemographic variables, employer size, and availability of cafeteria/vending machine. About half of employees supported Accessible Free Water (54%), Affordable Healthy Food/Drink (49%), and Available Healthy Options (46%), but only 28% supported Less Available SSB. Compared to non‐SSB consumers, daily SSB consumers were less supportive of Accessible Free Water (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=0.67, p<0.05) or Less Available SSB (OR=0.49, p<0.05). In conclusion, about half of employees supported increasing healthy options (i.e., Accessible Free Water, Affordable Healthy Food/Drink, and Available Healthy Options) within worksites. Daily workday SSB consumers were less supportive of certain strategies. Increasing worksite choices for healthy food/beverages is a potential health promotion approach for many employed adults.
