Abstract

Objective

Develop a multilevel intervention to reduce sugary drink intake and increase water intake among African American children in Washington, DC.

Design

Qualitative interviews and surveys with pediatricians, children, and their parents. Three key phases of intervention development guided the research: (1) pediatrician (n = 6) feedback on the "Decreasing Children’s Sugar Intake through Pediatricians and Social Marketing" intervention concept, (2) initial feedback from children (n = 10) and parents (n = 7) on intervention concept, branding and messaging content, and (3) additional feedback from children (n = 7) and parents (n = 6) on the revised branding and messaging content.

Setting

Pediatric primary care clinic in an underresourced area of Washington, DC.

Participants

Pediatricians, children aged 11–14 years seen at the clinic, and their parents.

Main Outcome Measures

Feedback on the intervention concept and prototype content.

Analysis

Thematic analysis for qualitative data and descriptive statistics for survey responses.

Results

All 3 key informant groups expressed enthusiasm for the intervention concept. Key suggestions included incorporating incentive-based challenges and suggestions for alternative beverages. Feedback on branding and messaging was primarily related to enhancing aesthetics and improving the relatability of the content.

Conclusions and Implications

Formative research informed the development of a "Decreasing Children’s Sugar Intake through Pediatricians and Social Marketing" intervention plan, which will be pilot-tested for feasibility and acceptability.

发展DC- sips的形成性研究：华盛顿特区黑人青年减少含糖饮料摄入和促进水摄入的多层次干预。

目的：制定多层次干预措施，以减少华盛顿特区非洲裔美国儿童的含糖饮料摄入量和增加水摄入量。设计：对儿科医生、儿童及其父母进行定性访谈和调查。干预发展的三个关键阶段指导研究：(1)儿科医生（n = 6）对“通过儿科医生和社会营销降低儿童糖摄入量”干预理念的反馈；(2)儿童（n = 10）和家长（n = 7）对干预理念、品牌和信息内容的初步反馈；(3)儿童（n = 7）和家长（n = 6）对修改后的品牌和信息内容的额外反馈。环境：华盛顿特区资源不足地区的儿科初级保健诊所。参与者：儿科医生、在诊所就诊的11-14岁儿童及其父母。主要结果测量：对干预理念和原型内容的反馈。分析：对定性数据进行专题分析，对调查答复进行描述性统计。结果：所有3个关键信息者组都对干预概念表达了热情。主要建议包括纳入基于奖励的挑战和替代饮料的建议。关于品牌和信息传递的反馈主要与增强美学和提高内容的相关性有关。结论和影响：形成性研究为“通过儿科医生和社会营销减少儿童糖摄入量”干预计划的制定提供了信息，该计划将进行可行性和可接受性的试点测试。
