Helping Educate and Advance Learning Through Healthy Bite-Sized Eating Strategies
Sponsor: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a mobile health intervention in adolescents (14-17 years) with overweight or obesity. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1) is a digital-based diet quality intervention for adolescents with overweight or obesity feasible and 2) is there preliminary effectiveness in improving diet quality? Participants will: 1. Complete three-day 24-hour dietary recalls 2. Collect urine samples 3. Wear a continuous glucose monitor, sleep tracker, and physical activity tracker Researchers will compare control and intervention groups to see if diet quality and meal timing traits improve as assessed by 24-hour dietary recalls, a novel urine biomarker, and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Interventions
Intervention
The intervention arm includes five components: 1. Personalized goal: Participants will complete an interview with a registered dietitian to review their baseline diet quality data and establish their personalized dietary goals. 2. Meal timing: Participants will receive information on why eating later at night is detrimental and specific strategies on how to limit eating past 8pm in the evening. 3. Nutrition skills: Participants will receive nutrition education and cooking skills text messages, using adolescent specific guidance from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. 4. Home food environment: Participants will receive text messages on how to better select and prepare foods in the home environment (e.g., fruit and vegetable availability). 5. Engagement strategies: Researchers will design and implement text messages that recognize participant time and effort (e.g., text badges in recognition of completing the first study week).
