This is the first study in South Africa to document the location of billboard advertisements and vendors in relation to schools. The study findings have implications for policies that regulate sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) advertising, especially in the proximity of schools. In urban areas of South Africa, disposable incomes are growing and ultra-processed food is increasingly available at low cost. The project aimed to investigate the density of outdoor advertising and the number of formal and informal vendors selling SSBs in a transforming, historically disadvantaged urban setting of South Africa.Text1 digital file (12 p. : ill.)Application/pdfenJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
