We tested the effectiveness of the I prefer plain water educational strategy used to increase water consumption in elementary school children.
A community intervention trial was performed in eight public elementary schools in Mexico City. The schools were randomized into an intervention (IG) and a control (CG) group. Each school was provided water dispensers inside the classrooms. The IG received the educational strategy. The strategy was considered effective if the students increased their water consumption by ≥220 ml.
Water consumption in the IG increased 167 ml vs. 37 ml in CG (p < 0.001). The goal of the educational strategy for water consumption was achieved in 166/413 children in the IG and 95/364 children in the CG (p < 0.001).
I prefer plain water, associated with free access to water inside the classrooms, proved to be effective to increase water consumption.
我们测试了“我喜欢白开水”教育策略在增加小学生饮水量方面的有效性。
在墨西哥城的 8 所公立小学进行了社区干预试验。这些学校被随机分为干预组（IG）和对照组（CG）。每个学校的教室都配备了饮水机。IG 组接受了教育策略。如果学生的饮水量增加了≥220ml，则认为该策略是有效的。
IG 组的饮水量增加了 167ml，而 CG 组仅增加了 37ml（p<0.001）。IG 组中有 166/413 名儿童和 CG 组中有 95/364 名儿童达到了该教育策略的饮水量目标（p<0.001）。
“我喜欢白开水”教育策略与教室内免费提供的水相结合，被证明可以有效增加饮水量。
