Water Up@ At Home: An Intervention to Replace Sugary Drinks With Water

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).
