Summary

Pilot test the health system-based intervention to improve family beverage choices and promote water consumption, engaging WIC nutritionists to augment the intervention with follow-up and counseling of families at regularly-scheduled WIC appointments in a small randomized trial among 30 WIC-enrolled families.

Detailed description

This is a pilot 2-arm randomized trial among 30 WIC enrolled families of children 6 months through 4 years old 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 two educational videos, a water promotion toolkit, mobile phone app, series of educational phone calls and extra counseling from WIC nutritionists, 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.
