Patterns of Engagement With an Application-Based Dietary Self-Monitoring Tool Within a Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension dietary pattern is a proven way to manage hypertension, but adherence remains low. Dietary tracking applications offer a highly disseminable way to self-monitor intake on the pathway to reaching dietary goals but require consistent engagement to support behavior change. Few studies use longitudinal dietary self-monitoring data to assess trajectories and predictors of engagement. We used dietary self-monitoring data from participants in Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Cloud (N=59), a feasibility trial to improve diet quality among women with hypertension, to identify trajectories of engagement and explore associations between participant characteristics.

Methods

We used latent class growth modeling to identify t
