School Water Access, Food and Beverage Intake, and Obesity
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT03181971
Purpose
It is widely argued that the promotion of water consumption, as an alternative to
sugar-sweetened beverages, can assist in childhood obesity prevention efforts. Yet no studies
have tested this argument in real world schools where flavored milk or juices are available.
This trial will fill gaps by examining how promoting fresh water intake-both in schools that
do and do not provide access to caloric beverages -impacts children's consumption of food and
beverages both during and outside of school, and obesity.
