Marketing of Energy Drinks Placed on TV Channels that Appeal to Teens
Though the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises against the consumption of energy drinks by teens, researchers at Dartmouth’s Norris Cotton Cancer Center found that manufacturers market the bulk of their products on television channels that likely appeal to teen audiences. First author Jennifer Emond, PhD, and collaborators expanded their ongoing work on risk behaviors among teens and looked at the patterns of energy drink ad placements on TV over one year. They published their findings, “Patterns of Energy Drink Advertising Over US Television Networks,” in the Journal of Nutrition Education Behavior.
“These findings are relevant to anyone concerned about child health,” Emond says. “Results are also useful to inform the current regulatory debates regarding a ban on the marketing of energy drinks to adolescents. Our study was the first to quantify airtime devoted to energy drink ads on national network and cable television, and results suggest that energy drink manufacturers could alter their placement of ads on TV to avoid reaching a teen audience.”
The AAP advises against energy drink use among children and adolescents because it may result in serious health consequences for some youths. In addition, mixing energy drinks with alcohol is common practice. A previous study conducted by the Dartmouth group demonstrated that adolescents who had mixed energy drinks with alcohol at any point were four times as likely to engage in binge drinking as their peers who had never mixed energy drinks with alcohol.
