California voters continue to say obesity is a serious problem and support actions to combat theepidemic. Voters also see a strong link between obesity and sugary soda, but a lesser connection

between obesity and energy or sports drinks.

Statewide 75% of voters, including 85% of Latinos, believe regularly drinking sodas like Coke,Pepsi or Mountain Dew definitely increases a persons chance of becoming overweight or obese.Despite scientific research also showing a link between obesity and other popular sugar-sweetened

beverages, such as energy drinks and sports drinks, fewer voters see this linkage. Only 42% thinkregularly drinking energy drinks like Red Bull, Rockstar or Monster definitely increases a personschances of being overweight or obese, and just 26% say this about sports drinks like Gatorade orPowerade.

When voters statewide are initially asked their opinion of the idea of taxing the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages, more are opposed (53%) than in favor (40%). However, support increasesdramatically (68% in favor vs. 29% opposed) if proceeds from the tax are used to improve schoolnutrition and physical activity programs. Support is especially strong among Latinos (79%), AsianAmericans (73%) and African Americans (70%).

Voters also endorse a variety of public policies aimed at combating obesity within theircommunities. These include creating more opportunities for residents to be physically active, suchas providing more funds to improve school athletic fields, physical education facilities, and

playgrounds and keeping these facilities open after school and on weekends. Voters also endorse policies that encourage residents to eat more healthily, like attracting more farmers markets, produce stands and supermarkets with fresh fruits and vegetables in low income neighborhoods, aswell as building more community gardens and urban farms on vacant city lands. Majorities also

favor policies aimed at discouraging the consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks in schools,childcare and youth centers among children.

These are the findings from the latest Field-The California Endowment Childhood ObesityPrevention Survey . Conducted by telephone in six languages and dialects among 1,184 Californiavoters, the survey is the third in a series of annual statewide surveys on the issue conducted by TheField Poll on behalf of The California Endowment.

These findings confirm that widespread support exists for policies that combat obesity, includingsignificant support for a tax on junk drinks to help finance school nutrition and physical activity

programs, said Dr. Robert Ross, President and CEO of The California Endowment. Support forthese efforts is even greater in communities that carry the greatest burden of illness and costs fromobesity-related conditions. As a state we need to support creative approaches to fighting obesity inCalifornia.

As part of its Health Happens in Schools campaign, The California Endowment has been activelysupporting efforts to expand school gardens, implement healthier school meals, and ensure that allCalifornia schools provide fresh, free drinking water to their students.

Additional details of the findings include;

Three in four see a direct linkage between obesity and regularly drinking sodas

Three in four California voters (75%) believe that regularly drinking sodas like Coke, Pepsi andMountain Dew definitely increases a persons chances of becoming overweight or obese.

However, fewer voters say they definitely see a linkage between obesity and other popular sugar-sweetened beverages, such as energy drinks and sports drinks. For example, 42% think energydrinks like Red Bull, Rockstar or Monster definitely increases a persons chances of beingoverweight or obese and just 26% say this about sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade.

Voters support taxing the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages if its proceeds are used toimprove school nutrition and physical activity programs

When California voters are initially asked their opinions about the idea of taxing the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages, more are opposed (53%) than in favor (40%).

However, support increases dramatically if proceeds from the tax are devoted to improving school

nutrition and expanding school physical activity programs. Two in three voters (68%) would favora soda tax in this setting, while just 29% are opposed.

A variety of obesity prevention policies are endorsed

Greater than eight in ten voters support creating more opportunities for being physically activewithin their community. This includes providing more funds to improve school athletic fields,

physical education facilities and playgrounds (83%) and keeping these facilities open after schoolhours and on weekends (82%).


3/22


At least seven in ten voters also support a variety of other obesity-prevention policies aimed atincreasing the availability of healthy foods and discouraging the consumption of unhealthy foods inschools and among other settings among children. For example . . .

Seventy-eight percent favor promoting government policies and funding to attract morefarmers markets, produce stands and supermarkets selling fresh fruits and vegetables in low-income neighborhoods.

Seventy-four percent favor promoting government policies and funding to build morecommunity gardens and urban farms on vacant public lands in cities and other urban areas.

Seventy-five percent support limiting the types of unhealthy foods and drinks provided toyoung children in childcare centers, preschools and nursery schools.

Seventy-one percent support enforcing school nutrition standards that limit the types ofunhealthy foods and sugar-sweetened beverages that can be sold on school grounds.

Seventy percent favor discouraging the sale of unhealthy foods and sugar-sweetened beveragesat youth centers, like the YMCA and Boys and Girls Clubs, and at after-school programs.

Large majorities attach high importance to making fresh, clean drinking water freely available tokids in schools (85%) and other public places like parks and playgrounds (74%).

Greater than eight in ten (84%) also support reducing obesity among new-borne babies, by having birth hospitals educate post-partum moms about the benefits of breastfeeding their infants.

Differences across ethnic populations

A larger proportion of Latinos (85%) believes regularly drinking sodas definitely increases a

persons chances of becoming overweight or obese than other ethnic populations.

Also, while majorities of voters across all population subgroups support a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages if the proceeds from the tax are devoted to improving school nutrition and physicalactivity programs, support is greater among Latinos (79%), Asian Americans (73%) and AfricanAmericans (70%) than it is among white non-Hispanics.

In addition, Latinos and African Americans are more likely than others to feel that not enoughattention is being paid to the problem of childhood obesity in their community.

Views similar among voters in each of the major regions of the state

Voters in each of six major geographic regions of the state Los Angeles County, the South Coast,the Inland empire, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley and all other Northern Californiacounties hold generally similar views on most of the issues measured in the survey.

About the Survey

The results in this release come from a survey completed by The Field Poll among a total of 1,184California registered voters. The survey was conducted by telephone October 17-24, 2012 using liveinterviewers in six languages and dialects English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, and

Vietnamese from Field Research Corporations central location call center in San Diego.

The statewide voter sample was supplemented with additional interviews conducted among randomsamples of Asian-American voters to permit more reliable comparisons.

Up to six attempts were made to reach and interview each voter on different days and times of dayduring the interviewing period. Interviews were completed on either a voters landline phone or acell phone. After completion of interviewing, the sample was weighted to align it to the properstatewide distribution of voters by race/ethnicity and other demographic characteristics of theCalifornia registered voter population.

Sampling error estimates applicable to any probability-based survey depend upon its sample size.According to statistical theory, 95% of the time results from the overall likely voter sample aresubject to a maximum sampling error of +/- 3.0 percentage points. The maximum sampling error is

based on percentages in the middle of the sampling distribution (percentages around 50%).Percentages at either end of the distribution have a smaller margin of error. Sampling error will belarger for analyses based on each of the ethnic voter subgroups.

Questions Asked
