Understanding self-monitoring to inform a mobile intervention for binge eating and weight management: A proof-of-concept randomized trial.

Objective

This study explored consumers' perspectives on self-monitoring, a common feature in behavioral interventions that helps inform consumers' progress and answer their questions, to learn what outcome metrics matter to consumers and whether self-selection of these metrics leads to greater engagement (i.e., compliance, satisfaction) in self-monitoring than monitoring only default options.
