| dc.description.abstract | In response to concern over rising sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB)
consumption, in April 2018, South Africa became the first Sub-Saharan African
(SSA) country to implement an SSB tax. We assess changes in pricing and acquisition of beverages from local supermarkets and small stores among 18–39-year-old
adults living in one township in the Western Cape, before and after tax implementation. This study is among the first evaluations of an SSB tax on the local food environment in a low-income township. | en_US |
