Increasing Water Intake In Lieu of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages among Latino Youth

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请，“增加水的摄入量，以代替糖甜甜菜在拉丁美洲青年，”是一个为期三年的建议，以回应PA-12-102 R13学术社区合作会议系列。该提案的总体目标是加强现有的学术-社区伙伴关系，为拉丁裔儿童和青少年增加自来水摄入量而不是SSB的干预措施提供信息。饮用水而不是SSB可以减少儿童的每日总热量摄入，从而减少肥胖。这个问题在拉丁裔青年中特别重要，因为他们比白色和亚洲儿童更有可能喝SSB，而不太可能喝自来水。迄今为止，很少有干预措施侧重于增加儿童的饮水量，也没有干预措施侧重于增加拉丁美洲儿童的自来水摄入量。在过去的五年里，位于旧金山弗朗西斯科的加州大学（CA）和伯克利的阿特金斯体重与健康中心的研究人员与加州食品政策倡导者的营养倡导者合作，改善加州公立学校的饮用水获取和摄入。在2012年3月的一次会议上，地方、州和国家利益攸关方优先考虑制定和评估基于学校的干预措施，以促进最有肥胖风险的人群摄入自来水而不是SSB。这笔赠款的支持将使我们能够在最近的会议上再接再厉，并加强与来自CA中央谷的社区组织的伙伴关系，这是一个拥有大量低收入拉丁裔人口的农业地区，以解决拉丁裔青年饮料摄入量的差异。社区伙伴关系对于解决这种不平等现象至关重要。学术界伙伴关系的具体活动将包括：1）汇集一批代表广泛研究、政策和社区领域的不同利益攸关方，2）制定一份谅解备忘录，将伙伴关系编纂成法律，3）每两个月举行一次会议，以澄清和划定利益相关者对学校的优先事项-基于干预的重点是增加拉丁裔儿童和青少年的自来水摄入量，而不是SSB，以及4）定期向更广泛的社区进行宣传活动（即，国家专家介绍、当地研究结果和董事会进展报告、创新学校做法案例研究以及与社区相关的方法讲习班[例如，饮用水测试，照片声音]）。在三年期结束时，学术界和社区的伙伴关系将产生以下产品：开发R 01应用程序，以检查以学校为基础的干预措施的效果，以促进拉丁美洲儿童和青少年的自来水摄入量肥胖，提交至少三份同行评审的手稿，获得资助的赠款提案，并引入相关立法。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application, "Increasing Water Intake In Lieu of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages among Latino Youth," is a three-year proposal in response to PA-12-102 R13 Academic-Community Partnership Conference Series. The overall objective of this proposal is to enhance an existing academic-community partnership that will inform priorities for an intervention to increase intake of tap water in lieu of SSBs among Latino children and adolescents. Drinking water instead of SSBs can reduce children's total daily caloric intake thereby reducing obesity. This issue is of particular significance among Latino youth as they are more likely to drink SSBs and less likely to drink tap water than White and Asian children. To date, few interventions have focused on increasing water intake among children and there have been no interventions that have focused on increasing tap water intake among Latino children. For the past five years, researchers at the University Of California (CA) at San Francisco and the Atkins Center for Weight and Health at Berkeley in conjunction with nutrition advocates at the CA Food Policy Advocates have collaborated to improve drinking water access and intake in CA public schools. During a March 2012 convening, local, state, and national stakeholders prioritized a need for the development and evaluation of school-based interventions that promote intake of tap water instead of SSBs among populations most at risk for obesity. Support from this grant will allow us to build on this recent meeting and augment partnerships with community-based organizations from the CA Central Valley, an agricultural region with a large low-income, Latino population, to address disparities in beverage intake among Latino youth. Community-partnerships are essential to addressing such inequities. Specific activities for the academic-community partnership will include 1) bringing together a group of diverse stakeholders representing broad domains of research, policy, and community, 2) development of a memorandum of understanding to codify the partnership, 3) bimonthly meetings to clarify and delineate stakeholders' priorities for a school-based intervention focused on increasing tap water intake instead of SSBs among Latino children and adolescents, and 4) regular dissemination events to the broader community (i.e., national expert presentations, reports of local research study findings and board progress, case studies of innovative school practices, and methods workshops relevant to the community [e.g., drinking water testing, photovoice]). At the end of the three-year period, the academic-community partnership will produce the following products: development of an R01 application to examine the effect of a school-based intervention to promote tap water intake on obesity among Latino children and adolescents, submission of at least three peer-reviewed manuscripts, attainment of funded grant proposals, and introduction of relevant legislation.
