Six policy initiatives addressing unhealthy diet were assessed: taxing soft drinks and energy drinks, taxing less healthy food and beverage purchases, zoning to restrict junk food supply near schools, prohibiting advertising of less healthy food and beverages to children under 16, and restricting sugar-sweetened beverages from vending machines in schools and public places.
Six policy initiatives addressing unhealthy diet were assessed: taxing soft drinks and energy drinks, taxing less healthy food and beverage purchases, zoning to restrict junk food supply near schools, prohibiting advertising of less healthy food and beverages to children under 16, and restricting sugar-sweetened beverages from vending machines in schools and public places.

Women were more likely to support child-targeted policies, and those with tertiary education showed higher support for all initiatives.
