Effectiveness of the Numerous Educational Strategy Interventions Seeking to Increase the Water Consume in Child

Overview

The current project seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of numerous educational strategy interventions to increase the percentage of water consumed among early elementary school students over a 1-year period.

A community intervention trial will be conducted at four public elementary schools of the Coyoacan Delegation in Mexico City. It will include healthy first graders during the 2017-2018 school year whose parents agree to participate through verbal informed consent and a signed privacy notice. These parents will complete a baseline 3-day beverage record (two weekdays and one weekend day). The four schools will be assigned to one of three groups: Group I will receive the educational strategy during the first grade; Group II will receive it during first and second grades; and Group III will receive it during the first, second, and third grades. All schools will have water dispensers inside the classrooms, and the children will receive a reusable 600-mL bottle so they are able to consume water on demand throughout the day. A second record of beverage consumption will be obtained by completing multiple interventions within each group, and a third record will be completed 1 year later.
