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.
