Efficacy of a 24-month behavioral intervention focused on sugary beverage reduction for Latino mother-infant dyads: evidence from a randomized controlled trial
This intervention, combined with home delivery of bottled water, was effective in reducing sugar consumption from beverages for Latina mothers by roughly 8 g/day in the first year after childbirth. However, this effect was not maintained and was not significant for infants. More comprehensive and sustained strategies are likely needed to maintain efficacy and improve outcomes related to weight or body composition, particularly for infants. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03141346.
