Abstract
Sugary drinks are a problem when you are at risk of developing type two diabetes, but are people aware of how much sugar is hiding in their drink? At Aspire Health, the Population Health division developed the Don’t Feed The Diabetes program in preventing type two diabetes, serving Monterey County. This project follows CSUMB students over a three week period to evaluate whether students reevaluate their drink choices when given the amount of sugar in their drink. The implementation includes surveying students. The expected outcomes are college students recognize how much sugar is in their drinks. The majority of the results reflected CSUMB students were willing to reevaluate their drink choices. The most important results would be making a difference in the health of students. The recommendations for the learning site to address the problem would be continuing research and developing new strategies such as a new poster design.
