This project will add significantly to knowledge about the role of water in health. Dental caries (decay) experience over an individual's life time is influenced by dental health in early childhood. Obesity and overweight in early childhood is also a predictor of later life obesity. Both these conditions reduce life chances and wellbeing for Australians and are costly for communities. Understanding why and how choices about drinks for children are made by parents using a longitudinal design will help to develop interventions and policies that support the use of water in preference to sweetened and acidic beverages.

该项目将大大增加人们对水在健康中的作用的认识。一个人一生中的龋齿（腐烂）经历受到儿童早期牙齿健康的影响。儿童早期的肥胖和超重也是晚年肥胖的预测因素。这两种情况都会减少澳大利亚人的生活机会和福祉，并且对社区来说代价高昂。了解家长使用纵向设计为何以及如何选择儿童饮料将有助于制定干预措施和政策，支持优先使用水而不是甜饮料和酸性饮料。
