BEHAVIORAL

Lifestyle modification

The centre of the campaign was to encourage the exchange of sugar-sweetened beverages for water. Ten one-hour sessions of activities facilitated by four trained research assistants were assigned for each class. The activities required 20-30 min and teachers were encouraged to reiterate the message during their lesson. Classroom quizzes and games using water v. sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages as the theme, as well as song and drawing competitions, were promoted. In addition, a musician using a tambourine helped each class to collectively develop songs related to drinking water and reducing the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages. This musical activity was conducted during three one-hour sessions.
