Official title
Effects of Sugar-sweetened Beverage Consumption Changes on Metabolic Health: Improving Metabolic Profile Very Effortlessly (IMPROVE)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) have been epidemiologically linked to serious health problems including heart disease, liver disease, and diabetes. This study will recruit frequent SSB drinkers who are employees at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and measure markers of metabolic health on two occasions, 10 months apart. During this time, UCSF will cease selling SSBs at all campus and medical center locations. Additionally, at the first assessment half of participants will be randomly assigned to a brief intervention to help reduce SSB consumption, consisting of a 10-20 minute semi-structured interview designed to share health information about SSBs, elicit motivations to reduce consumption, and help set concrete plans to reduce consumption. The investigators will be able to compare changes in metabolic health among those who do and do not reduce SSB consumption. This will make a unique contribution to the growing evidence regarding both the effects of SSB consumption on health and the modifiability of SSB-related health conditions.
