Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a cluster randomized controlled trial with n=28 City of Philadelphia recreation centers (14 matched pairs) designed to determine the effectiveness of a comprehensive multi-level intervention to increase water access and appeal in community recreation centers on 1) center-level water intake as measured by water meters, and 2) purchase of outside beverages as measured by observations of recreation center youth.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This cluster RCT involves 14 matched pairs; study recruitment and randomization occurs at the recreation center-level. Participating sites are matched based on center size, summer program enrollment, presence of indoor gym, neighborhood income \& race/ethnicity. Then, an intervention site and control site are randomly determined by a coin flip within each pair.

Hydrate Philly Intervention

Intervention group that receives hydration station intervention

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hydrate Philly

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Hydrate Philly is a multi-component intervention that includes water safety testing, provision of 1-2 hydration stations per recreation center, distribution of reusable water bottles for youth, a campaign to promote the acceptability of tap water, and the reduction of access to competing unhealthy beverages through vending machine standards and discouraging "black bags" (characteristic small, black, plastic bags provided to customers with their corner store purchases, typically including a sugar sweetened beverage and/or unhealthy snack foods).

Control

Control group that receives no intervention, but observational data is collected; converted to wait-listed intervention status after enrollment and randomization was completed

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
