Summary

Pilot randomized trial of a technology-based intervention to reduce sugary drink consumption and promote water intake in families with young children.

Detailed description

This is a pilot 2-arm randomized trial among 60 families of 1-8 year old children who currently over-consume sugary drinks. The study team will randomize families to either an intervention group, that will receive a behavioral intervention consisting of an educational video, water promotion toolkit, mobile phone app, and series of educational phone calls, or to a control group that will not receive this intervention. The study team will compare 6-month change in child and parental beverage consumption between groups. Exploratory analyses will examine child weight (kg) and Body Mass Index (BMI) z-score (BMIz) outcomes, and compare intervention effects across race/ethnic groups.
