OBJECTIVE
Consumption of water may help promote health and prevent obesity in children by decreasing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. This study used evidence-based strategies to increase water consumption in Mexican-American and Mexican children.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
In 2012, two schools in San Diego, USA and two other in Tlaltizapan, Mexico were recruited to Agua para Niños (Water for Kids), a program designed to promote water consumption among elementary grade students. Guided by operant psychology, the intervention focused on school and classroom activities to encourage water consumption. One control and one intervention school in each country were included.
RESULTS
Agua para Niños resulted in increases in observed water consumption and bottle possession among US and Mexican students. Teacher receptivity to the program was very positive in both countries.
CONCLUSIONS
Agua para Niños yielded sufficiently positive behavioral changes to be used in a future fully randomized design, and to contribute to school nutrition policy changes.
目的
通过减少含糖饮料的摄入量，饮水可能有助于促进儿童健康并预防肥胖。本研究采用循证策略来增加墨西哥裔美国儿童和墨西哥儿童的饮水量。
材料与方法
2012年，美国圣地亚哥的两所学校以及墨西哥特拉尔蒂萨潘的另外两所学校被纳入“儿童用水”项目，该项目旨在促进小学生的饮水量。在操作性心理学的指导下，干预措施侧重于学校和课堂活动以鼓励饮水。每个国家各有一所对照学校和一所干预学校。
结果
“儿童用水”项目使美国和墨西哥学生的观察到的饮水量和水瓶持有量有所增加。两个国家的教师对该项目的接受度都非常积极。
结论
“儿童用水”项目产生了足够积极的行为变化，可用于未来的完全随机设计，并有助于学校营养政策的改变。
