Arms

  • Experimental: Self Monitoring Feedback
    Participants enrolled in the Feedback Optimization trial will be asked to complete a 60-minute Weight Loss 101 session and to track their dietary intake, physical activity, and weight each day using study-provided tools. After the first week of self-monitoring (used as a run-in), participants will be provided with weekly feedback messages. The focus and content of these messages will vary, based on a 2x2x2x2 factorial design.
