Fluctuations in mHealth engagement following receipt of goal-discrepant feedback messages
Feedback on goal performance remains an important behavior change technique; however, sending push messages that alert participants to their goal-discrepant status seems to reduce the likelihood that participants will read future program messages. Sending messages containing positive or neutral content does not seem to carry this negative risk among individuals in goal-discrepant states.
