The study aims to understand how the Kids SIP smart ER program affects sugar-sweetened beverage intake through behavioral interventions and decision-making frameworks.
Implemented a 6-month school-based intervention in rural Appalachia
Used a clustered randomized controlled trial design targeting 7th graders
Incorporated a student component (KSS-S) focused on health literacy and behavioral intentions
Included a caregiver component (KSS-C) using two-way text messaging
Employed structural equation modeling to analyze decision-making effects
Behavioral intentions correlated with a reduction of 5.30 oz/day in SSB intake (p < 0.01)
Caregiver decision index linked to a 16.41 oz/day reduction in intake
KSS-S achieved a 6.42 oz/day reduction through direct pathways
KSS-C resulted in a 4.22 oz/day reduction via caregiver effects
Total combined reduction from both components was 10.64 oz/day (36% from baseline, p < 0.01)
