OPEN CLINICAL STUDY (Alaska): Reducing Sugared Fruit Drinks in Alaska Native Children

Alaska Native children consume an average of 50 teaspoons of sugar per day and most of this added sugar is from fruit drinks like Tang and Kool-Aid. The goal of this community-based behavioral trial is to reduce sugared fruit drink intake in Alaska Native children. In Communities A and B, 136 children ages 1-11 years will be recruited for a 6-month culturally-adapted, 5-session intervention consisting video-based health education and self-efficacy coaching delivered in person by an indigenous Community Health Worker.
