Randomized Clinical Trial to Increase Self-Monitoring of Physical Activity and Eating Behaviors in Youth: A Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to reduce reliance on in-person healthcare visits, making monitoring of health, eating, and physical activity less burdensome. There is a great need to develop and test mHealth tools for pediatric weight loss programs to enhance clinical practice. This study aimed to test the feasibility of utilizing a tailored suite of mHealth components to augment an existing evidence-based in-person pediatric weight management program.

Method

Using a two-group randomized superiority trial design, participants who completed baseline measurement were randomized to Brenner Families in Training (Brenner FIT) or Brenner FIT + mHealth (Brenner mFIT)), and follow-up measures were completed at 3 and 6 months. Feasibility was assessed i
