The Choose H2O Challenge is an 8-week long contest designed to increase teens\u2019 awareness about the health risks of sugary beverages, the benefits of water, and the influence of beverage marketing on their drink choices. Now in its second year, the Challenge started out as Dr. Emily Lilo\u2019s PhD dissertation while at the University of New Mexico.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Story Text” module_class=”aks-mod” _builder_version=”4.4.7″]<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea for the challenge came from community members who were concerned about kids drinking too much soda,\u201d Dr. Lilo says. \u201cDiabetes disproportionally affects Native Americans and Hispanic communities, and this school is almost entirely made up of kids from those two groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rules of the contest are simple. Each week, student complete \u201cSplash Tasks\u201d to earn \u201cSplash Points.\u201d Dr. Lilo posts the instructions for the tasks, and some nutrition education to go with them, on the Challenge\u2019s Facebook page. To supplement the Facebook activities, there are also events most weeks at the school.<\/p>\n

After completing the weekly Splash Task, students post on the Facebook page to earn their points. Most weeks also involve the opportunity to earn bonus points by involving family or friends. For example, if the task is to estimate your daily water needs, students can earn bonus points by estimating the water needs of someone else.<\/p>\n

This year, students are competing as a grade against other grades (and the teachers). At the end of the challenge, the grade with the most points wins the grand prize (a school \u201clock-in\u201d). The individuals with the highest points from each grade also win prizes like ticket packages to ice skating or glow golf.<\/p>\n

She appointed 10 student ambassadors to run the campaign in her absence, plus a teacher who is acting as \u201con the ground\u201d coordinator while Dr. Lilo provides regular technical assistance.<\/pee>Dr. Lilo is testing the feasibility of this kind of student-driven campaign because she hopes to scale the project, and ideally have it implemented in multiple schools that can \u201cchallenge\u201d each other. She also hopes to run the Choose H2O Challenge in a local Oregon school to see if the results are similar in a school with different demographics.<\/pee>[\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text admin_label=”Image without Caption” module_class=”aks-mod aks-image-Ycaption aks-story-pic” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ animation_style=”fade”]<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code admin_label=”story text” module_class=”aks-mod” _builder_version=”4.4.7″ custom_margin=”|||”]For those interested in health promotion campaigns such as this one, Dr. Lilo highlights the importance of community-driven change and recommends immersing yourself in the community culture as much as possible to better understand what is wanted and what is needed.<\/pee><\/p>\n

Students in this community care about their health, they\u2019ve seen what diabetes can do. It\u2019s just that they don\u2019t know what is bad or how bad it is. For example, most kids know soda is bad, but they don\u2019t know how much sugar is in sports drinks, lemonade, or iced tea. When you tell and show, the kids listen.<\/pee><\/blockquote>\n
