Conclusions Sugar and SSB taxes received considerable media attention between 2016 and 2019. All newspapers covered arguments in support of and opposition to taxation. Health impacts of excess sugar and the role of the soft drink industry in reducing sugar consumption were prevalent themes, suggesting a joined-up health advocacy approach. Industry arguments were more varied, suggesting a less collaborative argument. Further research should investigate how other media channels portray taxes such as the SDIL.Objective To examine the temporal trends in ambulatory antibiotic prescription fill rates and to determine the influences of age, gender, and location. Design Population-based cohort study. Setting Ambulatory setting in South Carolina. Patients Patients ≤64 years of age from January 2012 to December 2017. Methods Aggregated pharmacy claims data for oral antibiotic prescriptions were utilized to estimate community antibiotic prescription rates. Poisson regression or Student t tests were used to examine overall temporal trend in antibiotic prescription rates, seasonal variation, and the trends across age group, gender, and rural versus urban location. Results Overall antibiotic prescription rates decrease from 1,127 to 897 per 1,000 person years (P less then .001). The decrease was more noticeable in persons aged less then 18 years (26%) and 18-39 years (20%) than in those aged 40-64 years (5%; P less then .001 for all). Prescription rates were higher among females than males in all age groups, although this finding was the most pronounced in group aged 18-39 years (1,232 vs 585 per 1,000 person years; P less then .0001). Annualized antibiotic prescription rates were higher during the winter months (December-March) than the rest of the year (1,145 vs 885 per 1,000 person years; P less
