Engagement With and Impact of an mHealth App for Childhood Obesity Prevention and Management: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
The project's key contributions will be to generate evidence of the potential for a family-based digital intervention to support families' health behavior change and HCPs' confidence in their ability to support them and to improve our understanding of how particular behavior change techniques can be used to support engagement with the intervention and its target behavior. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and shared with the general public, with support from patient and public involvement representatives.
