Summary

This study will test the preliminary effects of an intervention to reduce sugary drinks among low-income parents (n=38)(primary caregivers) and their young children (6 months-3 year olds) compared to a control group (n=38). The main outcome is behavioral: sugary drink consumption (self-reported servings/day) among parents and among their children (parent-reported servings/day). These outcomes are measured at baseline and immediately after the 12-week intervention. An exploratory aim will test if the intervention has a sustained behavioral effect and an effect on body mass index and waist circumference of the parents 12 months after baseline.

Our mixed methods multi-phase approach includes a quantitative component (randomized controlled trial - Aim 1) and a qualitative component (in-depth interviews and focus groups- Aim 2) to test the effects of a behavioral intervention to replace sugary drinks with water at home.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Water Up! at Home

1: Addressing physical barriers to replace SSB with water at home: Participants will receive a personal, reusable bottle of water, a National Sanitation Foundation-certified water filter pitcher and one additional filter cartridge 2: Addressing sociocultural barriers to change individual perceptions: The curriculum has 6 topics delivered in 12 sessions: a) water for your health (diabetes/obesity among Latinos); b) health benefits of water vs. SSB, c) sugar content of SSB, d) safety \& affordability of filtered tap water vs. bottled beverages, e) access and promotion of SSB vs. water in your community, f) tips for improving water taste, perceived susceptibility, severity, costs and benefits. 3: Addressing sociocultural barriers to increase skills: During each session, participants will be asked to perform hands-on learning activities (e.g., measure sugar content in SSB, take pictures of themselves explaining to their family members the key messages of various lessons).
