A Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Reduction Intervention for Native American Men

Roswell Park Cancer Institute48 enrolled

Overview

This clinical trial develops and tests a culturally-appropriate educational program (Indigenous SIPin) for reducing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in men affiliated with Native American athletics communities. Sugary drinks are drinks like pop, soda, and juice. Increased sugar consumption may lead to an increased risk of chronic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, some types of obesity-related cancers, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and dental decay. A culturally sensitive program may help reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in Native American men

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Conduct and analyze qualitative data from focus groups and key informant interviews with Native American community members including Native American leaders and community members to develop Sugar Sweetened Beverage (SSB) intervention for Native American men (SIPsmartER Lacrosse). OUTLINE: Participants receive the Indigenous SIPin intervention over 6 months, which includes in-person and/or virtual educational sessions weekly over 30 minutes for 12 weeks and text message communications twice a week (BIW) for 12 weeks and then monthly thereafter up to month 6. Participants observe the Indignious SIPin intervention over 6 months and provide qualitative feedback data.
