NCT ID NCT04754269
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two text-message programs for low-income Latino parents of children ages 1 to 5. One program aimed to reduce sugary drinks and juice, the other to encourage reading aloud. Researchers measured changes in children's drink intake and how often parents read to them. The goal was to find low-cost ways to improve child health and early learning.
