Background: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) account for a significant proportion of sugar in the diet of children and are directly associated with obesity in this group. While there have been many studies on adolescent SSB consumption, few studies have examined the predictors of SSB consumption in primary-school-aged children. The aim of this study was to understand the degree to which a child's consumption across a range of beverages is influenced by their own attitudes and by their parents' attitudes and parents' consumption behaviours.

- This research investigates the challenges faced by individuals when using two different self-administered 24-hour dietary recall programs (INTAKE24© and ASA24®) among university students.
- It finds that participants encountered fewer perceived problems using INTAKE24© compared to ASA24®, with a significant preference towards INTAKE24© (68% of students).
- The study also highlights that habitual eating and usability of the system significantly influenced the perceived difficulties in using INTAKE24©, but not for ASA24®.
