Interventions

  • Acceptability of soy milk — OTHER
    In the spring and fall of 2026, the investigators aim to test the acceptability of soy milk over a four-week period of time in 11 New York City Public Schools. Leading up to the intervention, the investigators will take baseline measurements of cow's milk, both sales and amount of beverage consumed. During the 4-week intervention, there will be taste tests at each school and measurements of consumption of both cow's milk and soy milk. At the end of the intervention, the investigators will measure consumption of both cow's milk and soy milk.

Study Details
