The association between access to water and sugary-sweetened beverage consumption in 37 schools in King County

Water is the ideal source of hydration with several health benefits. Water can be substituted for sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) to decrease energy intake and other negative health consequences of SSBs. Increasing access to water is considered a successful strategy to decrease SSB consumption, but there has been little research to show the association. The purpose of this study is to explore access to water, SSB consumption and the relationships between them.
