ICYMI: Our @BMJ_Open paper finds that lower socioeconomic groups and younger adults were more likely to report exposure to #HFSS ads, and that exposure to digital food delivery services ads and digital HFSS ads was associated with #obesity. #AdEnough

Important new research led by @amylaiting : young people, women, and people from families with lower income all report seeing more junk food ads. References our @BiteBack2030 report which is nice and in the @BMJ_Open too!
