简要总结
The goal of this study is to learn if integrating a chatbot into an existing 12-week smartphone-delivered behavioral weight loss program is feasible and effective for weight loss among young adults. Researchers will compare a standard behavioral weight loss program for young adults that delivers 1-2 brief messages per day (AGILE) to the same program with a chatbot that offers additional behavior change support integrated into the app (AGILE + Chatbot) to determine if the program with the chatbot is feasible, acceptable to participants, and improves program engagement and weight change compared to AGILE alone.
详细描述
At baseline, 20 young adults, ages 18-39, with overweight or obesity, will be randomized to either the AGILE or AGILE + Chatbot group. Participants in both groups will receive a 12-week mobile behavioral weight loss intervention (AGILE) delivered via the study smartphone application. The weight loss intervention includes weekly evidence-based lessons; personalized goals; self-monitoring of diet, activity, and weight; weekly tailored feedback on progress; and brief, tailored messages 1-2 times per day displayed in the study smartphone app. Participants in the AGILE group will receive no additional program features. Participants in the AGILE + Chatbot group will have a version of the smartphone app with an integrated chatbot. The chatbot will be available for brief conversations 1-2 times per day. Assessments will occur at baseline and 12 weeks.
