Reducing Sugared Fruit Drinks in Alaska Native Children

"Children and their caregiver(s) in the intervention communities will receive a culturally-adapted, 5-session program consisting of video-based health education and self-efficacy coaching delivered by an indigenous Community Health Worker. Families will be introduced to sugar-free water enhancers that are commercially available and come in the same flavors as regular Tang and Kool-Aid. The sessions will include conversations on related topics, interactive hands-on activities, and homework assignments. Additionally, four brief check-ins will keep families engaged. Local stores in the intervention communities only will carry the sugar-free water enhancers that are highlighted in the health education."
