Brief summary
In Mexico, there has been an increase in the consumption of sugary beverages, and as a result a decrease in water consumption; which seems to have an effect on the prevalence of overweight and obesity. The design of an educational intervention with a mixed methodological model, based on an exploratory qualitative study using the Theory of Social Representations as a theoretical framework and, later, in a second stage, designed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, to achieve greater effectiveness in the desired behavior change; it will contribute to increase the consumption of water and decrease the consumption of sugary drinks. The educational intervention will increase water consumption by 20% in schoolchildren in Jalisco, Mexico, compared to an informative intervention. Finally, the goal of this study is to propose an intervention model, where the importance of cultural relevance in the design of interventions for behavior change is considered.
