Sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to adult and childhood obesity in Guatemala. Policies to place health warning labels on sugar-sweetened beverages are being pursued, but there is little empirical data on how such labels influence people. The primary aim of this study is to test the association between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) warning posters compared to control posters and change in SSBs purchased compared to baseline by adolescents shopping at school cafeterias in Guatemala City, Guatemala. The hypothesis is that posters with information warning people of the health harms associated with overconsuming SSBs and promoting low sugar beverages will be associated with greater reductions in SSB purchases compared to a control poster.
The aim of this cohort is to identify environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that modify the human intestinal microbiota development during the first years of life, and to identify early microbiota features that associate to child health and well-being with focus on the development of allergic diseases and overweight.
This is a before-after designed intervention study conducted in two randomly selected secondary schools- one was selected randomly as intervention school and the another as control school. A baseline survey was conducted among the students of both schools by a pre-tested questionnaire to attain their current status of knowledge, attitude and practices related to NCDs. Afterward, students were enrolled in the intervention group who met the eligibility criteria from the intervention school. The intervention was given through a health promotion session to a group of students, not more than 25 at a time, by trained facilitators. A post-intervention end line survey was conducted among all the participants from both schools using the same questionnaire three months after the baseline survey. An intervention has been developed based on some principals of two psychosocial theory- Motivational Interview and Social Cognitive Theory. Emphasis was given on motivating the adolescents towards a healthy lifestyle, supporting self-efficacy to be changed, guiding self-regulatory ways along with facilitating desired changing process by empowering them with choices about the preventive measures of NCDs. This intervention is expected to increase awareness by equipping the adolescents with specific knowledge and skills and thus, facilitate an eventual change in their practiced risk behaviors.
