Social Network Intervention
Individuals will be recruited and trained to be "Peer Educators" who will participate in group sessions and then communicate this information with members of their social network ("Sidekick") and work to make changes to reduce intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. Peer Educators will participate in 6 core group sessions over a 6-week period as well as 3 additional booster sessions over the subsequent 3 months after completing the core curriculum. All sessions will be delivered by a facilitator and assistant facilitator using a guide.
Social network intervention: The intervention combined a social network approach with strategies that address public housing residents' challenges related to the built environment to improve dietary habits. Given the frequent intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) in this population, the intervention focused on reducing added sugar intake through the reduced consumption of SSB.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: 6 monthsParticipants answered questions from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) 5-factor dietary screener, and relevant elements as recommended by NHIS were combined to estimate the daily added sugar intake (i.e.,soda, sugar-sweetened beverages, sweets and doughnuts). At 6 months, this measure ranged (min-max) from 9.1 to 56.0 teaspoons/day in this sample. The American Heart Association recommends that all adults limit their added sugar intake to no more than 9 teaspoons per day.
