Summary
This trial will test whether a health education program focused on reducing sugar intake and delivering bottled water to homes can help mothers and infants avoid obesity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for mothers who often drink sugary beverages and juices, can understand study procedures in English or Spanish at a 5th grade level, have had a single birth up to one month postpartum, and identify as Hispanic. It excludes those with major illnesses like diabetes, on weight-affecting meds, smokers or drug users, with pre-term infants or fetal abnormalities.
What is being tested?
The study tests if educating mothers about reducing sugar intake and providing home water delivery can lower obesity risk in them and their babies. Mothers-infant pairs will be randomly assigned to either standard health education (control), sugar reduction education (translation), or sugar reduction plus bottled water delivery (efficacy) over two years.
What are the potential side effects?
There are no direct medical side effects from participating in this educational program; however, changes in diet may lead to temporary adjustments such as cravings or changes in energy levels.
