Implementation and acceptance of a state-wide policy to remove sugar-sweetened beverages in hospitals in New South Wales, Australia.

CONCLUSIONS: Availability of SSBs in NSW hospitals was significantly reduced after implementation of a policy to remove them from sale. There was strong staff and visitor support for the initiative. SO WHAT?: This study provides clear evidence that a policy designed to provide a healthy hospital retail drink environment can be successfully implemented at scale with high levels of support from staff and visitors.
