Mobile App for Healthy Eating
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this 8-week clinical trial is to learn whether the PortionSize Ed mobile app helps to improve healthy eating habits among early adolescents in the Hawai'i-Food and Lifeskills for Youth (HI-FLY) program. PortionSize Ed is a dietary assessment and nutrition education mobile app, that provides real-time feedback on adherence to tailored dietary recommendations. HI-FLY is a healthy lifestyle program delivered in schools throughout Hawaii. PortionSize Ed also contains educational videos. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to either the HI-FLY only group (HI-FLY), where they will receive the standard HI-FLY program or to the HI-FLY + PortionSize Ed app (HI-FLY + PSEd) group where they will receive the standard HI-FLY program and a study iPhone with the PortionSize Ed app for the 8-week study. This will allow us to evaluate the effect of the PortionSize Ed app among early adolescents in HI-FLY.
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for early adolescents in Hawaii who are part of the HI-FLY program aimed at promoting healthy eating. Participants will be using a mobile app to track and improve their diet. There's no mention of specific inclusion or exclusion criteria, so it seems open to those already enrolled in HI-FLY.Inclusion Criteria
