  1. Sweetened Beverage Screening QI Project  WHFHC 2011-2012

  2. Youtube clip “Man eating sugar. New York City Health Department”

  3. Background • Children younger than 12 yr old account for only 18% of the US total population, but consume 28% of all juice and juice drinks • By 1 year of age, almost 90% of infants consume juice. • Toddlers consume a mean of ~ 6 oz/day of juice. Almost 20% of children 2-5 years old drink more than 12 oz/day. • Between 56% and 85% of children consume at least 1 soft drink daily in school.

  4. AAP recommendation • Intake of fruit juice should be limited to 4 to 6 oz/d for children 1 to 6 years old. For children 7 to 18 years old, juice intake should be limited to 8 to 12 oz or 2 servings per day. “The Use and Misuse of Fruit Juice in Pediatrics”, Pediatrics, May 2001

  5. Why do we care?

  6. Our Aim • Our aim is to improve rates of nutritional screening for sweetened beverage consumption in children ages 2-6 years old from the July 2011 baseline of 46% to 80% by the end of the academic year with emphasis on promoting reduction of total daily consumption to 6 fl oz or less.

  7. Baseline data Percentage of charts recorded

  8. PDSA Cycles • Cycle #1: November 2011, Use CHALK handout as both nutrition counseling and prompt to providers • To be given to parent by PFA at time of registration • Zero pts received handout

  9. PDSA Cycles • Cycle #2: December 2011, Didactic session for providers on sugary beverage counseling, MA attaches sugary beverage questionnaire to chart as prompt for providers • 100% of patients 2-6 yrs received form • Chart review of those visits where handout was given: 75% providers checked off dietary concerns 58% providers checked off juice/sweetened beverages

  10. Top counseling points for providers • Limit sweetened beverage intake 1-6yo: 4-6 oz 7-18yo: 8-12 oz • Whole fruits are superior • Read labels to check for 100% juice content • Juice should be part of meal or snack, not sipped throughout day • Do not give unpasteurized juice

  11. PDSA Cycles cont • Cycle #3: March, 2012, Efficacy of screening to increase provider by-in (and hopefully continue to increase screening rates and documentation) • 0/6 patients mentioned the link between sweet beverages and obesity 3/6 associated them with hyperactivity, 1/6 mentioned cavities • Cycle #4: Create English/Spanish hand-out emphasizing link between sugary beverage intake and obesity • Poll parents re: efficacy of handout • Survey parents re: link between sugary beverages and obesity before and after WCC • Survey providers

  12. PDSA Cycle #4: Efficacy of handout – do parents like it? • Parents opinion: 100% pointed to picture as helpful  0% found the handout unclear 100% correctly summarized handout in their own words 88% stated they were already aware of sugar-fat connection 100% felt handout was useful to reinforce message 

  13. Efficacy of Handout – is it helping during visits? Post visit questionnaire: Has your opinion about the amount of juice your child drinks changed? If so, how? Has your opinion about sweet beverages changed? If so, how? Did your doctor use the handout to discuss these issues with you

  14. Efficacy of handout - Provider survey • 80% found handout clear • 100% thought handout gave right message • 80% thought handout would be helpful • 98% maybe to very likely to use handout

  15. End of year data review Percentage of charts recorded

  16. Conclusion • Childhood obesity is an extremely challenging but important issue to tackle within pediatrics. • Sweetened beverage intake is an important contributor to excess calories, which may lead to obesity. • We are doing a good job with counseling – but what are parents hearing? • Handout helps parents see link between sugary and obesity and may help with physician screening

  17. Limitations • Provider-only project • PDSA cycles and chart reviews did not include BMI • Medically complex patients

  18. What can we spread • New handout!
