Study Summary

The purpose of this study to investigate the addictive properties of soda and other sugar sweetened beverages (SBBs) in teenagers aged 13-18 years. It is hypothesized that participants who were regularly consuming sweetened and caffeinated beverages will experience symptoms typical of caffeine withdrawal, such as headache and fatigue, during the SSB withdrawal period.

Primary Outcome

Symptoms of withdrawal during the SSB withdrawal period (days 6-8) will be compared to symptoms of withdrawal during usual consumption period (days 1-3). Three measures are used to assess withdrawal symptoms: Griffiths' withdrawal scale, the relative reinforcing value of soda, and daily check in questions on well-being.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL SSB withdrawal
