W8Loss2Go: Behavioral Weight Loss Intervention Utilizing Mobile Health Technology in Pediatric Patients Referred to a Tertiary Care Center Weight Management Clinic
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating W8Loss2Go for Obesity. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators will test a recent mobile technology based (mHealth) behavioral weight loss intervention (W8Loss2Go), which is designed for children and adolescents, and uses an addiction model to promote withdrawal from problem foods, snacking, and excessive amounts at meals. The investigators will test whether this intervention will reduce body mass index (BMI), help subjects identify and withdraw from "problem foods", eliminate snacking, and reduce the amounts of foods consumed at home meals.

Timeline
Interventions
The participants will proceed through all parts of the app program (problem food withdrawal, snacking control and withdrawal from excessive portions) and receive weekly phone calls from the study coordinator, who will be monitoring app usage and providing motivation. Subjects will return to the EMPOWER clinic for a three month weight check and face-to-face meeting with their mentor. After the study period, participants will again complete the EBQ, and be offered continued enrollment in the EMPOWER clinic or continued home use of the mHealth technology.
