A look at engagement profiles and behavior change: A profile analysis examining engagement with the Aim2Be lifestyle behavior modification app for teens and their families

Abstract: Mobile-Health is increasingly used to deliver lifestyle modification interventions; however, little is known about how users engage with these apps. This study aims to profile how teens engage with Aim2Be– a lifestyles behavior modification app), characterize engagement profiles, and examine which engagement profiles support changes in behaviors (diet, physical activity, screen time and sleep) and changes in the mediators targeted by the app. Data were collected from 301 teens (14.8 years, 49% boys, 68% Caucas… Show more

Interestingly, the results previously observed in the prevention context [ 33 ] were replicated in our study using a clinical sample of children.…”

Interestingly, the results previously observed in the prevention context [ 33 ] were replicated in our study using a clinical sample of children. Importantly, users with distinct patterns of engagement obtained different health benefits depending on whether they interacted with the active ingredients of the app.…”
