20.500.12556/RUL-135671 Water wins, communication matters school-based intervention to reduce intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and increase intake of water We compared three interventions designed for reducing the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) aimed at decreasing the risk of overweight and obesity among children. We included three experimental (n = 508) and one control school (n = 164) in Slovenia (672 children; 10–16 years) to evaluate interventions that influence behaviour change via environmental (E), communication (C), or combined (i.e., double) environmental and communication approaches (EC) compared to no intervention (NOI). Data of children from the ‘intervention’ and ‘non-intervention’ schools were compared before and after the interventions. The quantity of water consumed (average, mL/day) by children increased in the C and EC schools, while it decreased in the E and NOI schools. Children in the C and EC schools consumed less beverages with sugar (SSBs + fruit juices), and sweet beverages (beverages with: sugar, low-calorie and/or noncaloric sweeteners) but consumed more juices. The awareness about the health risks of SSB consumption improved among children of the ‘combined intervention’ EC school and was significantly different from the awareness among children of other schools (p = 0.03). A communication intervention in the school environment has more potential to reduce the intake of SSBs than a sole environmental intervention, but optimum results can be obtained when combined with environmental changes. health communication childhood obesity water sugar-sweetened beverages social marketing otroci čezmerna telesna teža uživanje pijač socialno trženje Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-03-24 21:30:36 2022-03-24 21:30:39 2022-09-14 04:14:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 12 str. iss. 7, art. 1346 Vol. 14 Apr. 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 612.3:339.138 2072-6643 10.3390/nu14071346 102140419 RAZ_Kamin_Tanja_2022.pdf RAZ_Kamin_Tanja_2022.pdf 1 F557064757EC8DA0F854E778F22CA663 6caa2fd3ad716b87ded0ea8420c86f62bce7aeaca70713079c85447c8c03b1d2 a619774a-abb1-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154899 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/7/1346 0 9dbc0faa-f2c6-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=157632 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
