This study evaluated the feasibility of a home‐based intervention to reduce sugar‐sweetened beverage intake and television viewing among children. Lower income parents of overweight children aged 5–12 years (n = 40) were randomized to a home environment intervention to reduce television viewing with locking devices and displace availability of sugar‐sweetened beverages with home delivery of non‐caloric beverages (n = 25), or to a no‐intervention control group (n = 15) for 6 months. Data were collected at baseline and 6 months. After 6 months, television viewing hours per day was significantly lower in the intervention group compared with the control group (1.7 [SE = .02] vs. 2.6 [SE = .25] hours/day, respectively, P < .01). Sugar‐sweetened beverage intake was marginally significantly lower among intervention group compared to control group children (0.21 [SE = .09] vs. 0.45 [SE = .10], respectively, P < .09). Body mass index (BMI) z‐score was not significantly lower among intervention compared to control children. Among a lower income sample of children, a home‐based intervention reduced television viewing, but not sugar‐sweetened beverage intake or BMI z‐score.
