The program included better access to healthy drinks at daycare, plus education and counseling for families.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Healthy beverage promotion (water instead of sugary drinks) through childcare center changes and family education
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to prevent childhood obesity starting in preschool.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply to all communities. Changing what kids drink at childcare may not be enough to prevent obesity overall.
