Parental perceptions, attitudes, and awareness regarding their teenage children’s caffeine consumption.
By Priyanjana Pramanik, MSc.May 22 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent report based on the National Poll on Children’s Health conducted by the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital , researchers at the University of Michigan Health explored parental perceptions, attitudes, and awareness regarding their children’s caffeine consumption.About the study Caffeine is widely present in various foods and beverages and can cause several health issues, particularly in teenagers.
The sample was carefully weighted to reflect the U.S. population, and the survey achieved a 61% completion rate. The margin of error ranged from ±2 to 7 percentage points. Related StoriesTeenagers primarily consumed caffeine at home, as reported by 81% of parents, but also while eating out , with their friends , and at school . Teens aged 16-18 were more likely to consume caffeine daily than those aged 13-15.
While 64% believed that daily caffeine limits according to health recommendations for teens are under 100mg, 57% said that they rarely checked caffeine contents while purchasing drinks for their teens. With caffeine commonly consumed at home, parents can play a crucial role in reducing their teens' intake by choosing non-caffeinated products and educating them about the risks.
The Food and Drug Administration has no specific guidelines for teens, but experts have suggested that their intake is limited to 100 mg daily. The Mott Poll found that many parents are unaware of these limits and the caffeine content in various products, including soda, energy drinks, and snack foods.
