2.5. Control Group
Families randomized to the control group received usual care. As noted previously, within the AHWFB health system, usual care includes a prompt for clinical team members to conduct EHR-based screening for SSB and FJ consumption at pediatric visits. To improve retention of control group participants in this study, research team members also sent monthly text messages to parents over the 6 months of follow-up to confirm contact information and ongoing engagement in the study. After completing the final data collection, control families were mailed a water promotion toolkit.
