Summary
This study tested whether a health education program that focuses on reducing sugary drinks and juices, plus providing bottled water at home, can lower obesity risk in Hispanic mothers and their infants. Over 200 mother-infant pairs were randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard health education, sugar reduction education, or sugar reduction education with water delivery. The program lasted 24 months and was delivered by trained educators during home visits or virtual calls.
