Summary

This study tested a 12-week health coaching program called Sip & Snack Better to help teens aged 12-16 reduce added sugar intake. Thirty teens and their parents participated, with some receiving coaching and others a tech-only comparison. The study also tested a new breath, blood, and hair test to measure sugar intake more accurately.
