Gallis10, Jenifer Schwager1,2, and Gary B. Bennett12,13 Objective: To determine the effect on weight of two mobile technology-based (mHealth) behavioral weight loss interventions in young adults. Methods: Randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial in 18- to 35-year-olds with BMI 25 kg/m2 (overweight/obese), with participants randomized to 24 months of mHealth intervention delivered by interactive smartphone application on a cell phone (CP); personal coaching enhanced by smartphone self-monitoring (PC); or Control. Results: The 365 randomized participants had mean baseline BMI of 35 kg/m2. Final weight was measured in 86% of participants. CP was not superior to Control at any measurement point. PC participants lost significantly more weight than Controls at 6 months (net effect 21.92 kg [CI 23.17, 20.67], P 5 0.003), but not at 12 and 24 months. NURS 6208 GWU Loss Intervention for Young Adults Using Mobile Technology Conclusions: Despite high intervention engagement and study retention, the inclusion of behavioral principles and tools in both interventions, and weight loss in all treatment groups, CP did not lead to weight loss, and PC did not lead to sustained weight loss relative to Control. Although mHealth solutions offer broad dissemination and scalability, the CITY results sound a cautionary note concerning intervention delivery by mobile applications. Effective intervention may require the efficiency of mobile technology, the social support and human interaction of personal coaching, and an adaptive approach to intervention design. Obesity (2015) 23, 2133-2141. doi:10.1002/oby.21226 Introduction Obesity is present in 35% of young adults (defined as age 18-35 years) in the US (1) and deserves attention: Weight gain is most rapid during these years (2,3); increasing body mass index (BMI) in young adulthood increases the risk of developing metabolic syndrome over the subsequent 15 years almost 20-fold (4); and weight gain in early adulthood is also associated with increased coronary calcification in middle age (5), forecasting future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. These data suggest the need for effective and sustainable weight control strategies early in adult life (6). 1 Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA.

Effective behavioral weight loss strategies involve regular personal contact with a trained interventionist using behavioral techniques such as self-monitoring and goal setting (6). Evidence-based obesity treatment recommendations endorse high-intensity intervention: 14 in-person interventionist sessions over 6 months (6). However, the optimal behavioral “dose” is unclear (7), and a smaller effect with lower intensity intervention might be offset by the potential for increased scalability. In addition, trials testing comprehensive behavioral approaches have primarily included middle-aged adults and suggest that intervention is more effective as age increases (8,9). Thus the potential of personal coaching for weight loss in a younger population is unknown. Similarly, commercial mobile technology mHealth applications (“apps”) are widely downloaded for weight loss but have not been rigorously tested for efficacy or effectiveness. Behavior change techniques known to produce clinically meaningful weight loss are often absent (10,11), calling into question whether apps can have the desired effect (12,13). Because of the potential for scalability and wide dissemination, we sought to determine the weight loss potential of mobile technology on its own. NURS 6208 GWU Loss Intervention for Young Adults Using Mobile Technology In order to improve the efficiency of behavior change methods known to be effective, we tested a low-intensity personal coaching intervention enhanced by mobile technology. The Cell Phone Intervention for You (CITY) study was a three-arm randomized trial comparing the effect on weight over 24 months of behavioral intervention that was delivered almost entirely via a smartphone app of our design (CP) or behavioral intervention delivered through personal coaching enhanced by self-monitoring via smartphone (PC), each compared to Control. We hypothesized that CP and PC would each be superior to Control. We made no a priori hypothesis about CP relative to PC. Methods The CITY study was one of seven trials in the Early Adult Reduction of weight through LifestYle Intervention (EARLY) consortium, sponsored by NHLBI (1U01HL096720). Each EARLY trial was conducted independently. However, in order to facilitate future comparison, the EARLY trials had common eligibility criteria, measurement methods, and primary outcome (14). The design of CITY is reported elsewhere (15). Study population CITY was approved by the Duke Institutional Review Board and an NHLBI-appointed Protocol Review Committee/Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB). Enrollment occurred between December 2010 and February 2012. Individuals were eligible if they were aged 18-35 years, had overweight or obesity (BMI 25 kg/m2), and used a mobile telephone. For logistical reasons, participants were required to receive service from either Verizon or AT&T. Individuals were excluded if they were taking weight loss medications or corticosteroids, had weight loss surgery, weighed more than 440 lbs (the limit of study scales), or had any condition deemed unsafe for the study. Recruitment occurred primarily by advertising and mass mailings. 2134 Obesity | VOLUME 23 | NUMBER 11 | NOVEMBER 2015 Pre-screening assessment occurred by participants’ choice of telephone, interactive voice response (IVR), short message service (SMS), or online survey. Participants were further screened by telephone followed by a face-to-face visit, during which all participants provided written informed consent. Randomization occurred at a separate face-to-face visit within 10 weeks of screening, at which baseline weight was obtained. Randomization was stratified by gender and BMI (overweight [BMI 25 and <30 kg/m2] vs. obese [BMI 30 kg/m2]) with equal allocation to each treatment group. Intervention lasted 24 months, with data collection at 6, 12, and 24 months post-randomization. Outcomes The primary outcome was weight change in kilograms (kg) at 24 months. Secondary outcomes included weight changes at 6 and 12 months, percent change in weight at each time point, and weight changes in subgroups defined by self-identified race, sex, and age. Other pre-specified outcomes include change in dietary pattern and physical activity (PA) (15). Interventions Both the cell phone (CP) and personal coaching (PC) interventions were designed by our research team, based on social cognitive theory (16) and the transtheoretical model (17). Both interventions used techniques of behavioral self-management (18) and motivational enhancement (19). Targeted goals and behaviors included moderate calorie restriction, healthy dietary pattern (based on the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension [DASH] dietary pattern) (20), 180 min/week of moderate PA, limited alcohol intake, and frequent self-monitoring of weight, diet, and PA (6). Both interventions were designed with input from the target population obtained through focus groups that were conducted in the year before the trial began (21). The major difference between CP and PC was the source of intervention delivery and the use of the smartphone. In CP, the smartphone was used for both intervention delivery and self-monitoring. Specifically, the intervention was delivered exclusively through an investigator-designed smartphone app which included goal setting, challenge games, and social support through a “buddy system” that allowed exchange of pre-determined messages to a randomly assigned buddy participant. Self-management behaviors for CP were regularly and frequently prompted by the app according to a protocol-driven schedule; participants did not have a choice in the timing or frequency of prompts. Tailoring within the CP intervention occurred mainly via setting personal goals. Self-monitoring by smartphone was achieved by tracking weight, dietary intake, and physical activity, with frequent prompts to self-monitor and feedback on the results. In contrast, the PC intervention was delivered primarily by an interventionist during six weekly group sessions followed by monthly phone contacts. Intervention elements such as goal setting, challenges, and social support were delivered through these personal coaching interactions, with extensive tailoring during the conversations with the interventionist. NURS 6208 GWU Loss Intervention for Young Adults Using Mobile Technology The smartphone was used exclusively for self-monitoring, with tracking of weight, dietary intake, and physical activity initiated by the participant (i.e., without smartphone prompts), transmitted to the interventionist, and incorporated by the interventionist into the coaching sessions. The PC interventionists were dietitians trained in Motivational www.obesityjournal.org Obesity Symposium Obesity CLINICAL TRIALS AND INVESTIGATIONS Figure 1 CONSORT diagram. *1 additional Control participant did not have 24-month weight but contributed data for other outcomes. ^Includes: weight loss surgery, program, intervention study (n 5 20); BMI<25 kg/m2 (n 5 7); >15 lbs weight loss in last 3 months (n 5 2). ‡Participants were eligible at time in screening process when they declined. Interviewing. Fidelity to the intervention protocol was monitored by the intervention director (P-HL) during regular observation of the group sessions and review of audiotaped monthly calls. Height was measured in duplicate to the nearest 0.1 cm, with the participant shoeless using a wall-mounted stadiometer. BMI was calculated as weight [kg]/height [m]2. In both CP and PC, participants received an Android smart phone, and their personal phone number was transferred to the CITY phone. Participants were expected to use the CITY phone as their sole personal phone. Because text and data service were required for both interventions, participants were reimbursed for this portion of their phone bill. Participants were also provided a Bluetooth-enabled scale (Tanita HD-351BT) for weight self-monitoring, which automatically transmitted weight through their smartphone to the study database. Participants randomized to the Control group were given three handouts on healthy eating and physical activity from the Eat Smart Move More NC program (http://www.eatsmartmovemorenc.com/) but otherwise received no intervention and were not asked to selfmonitor. Use of these materials was not monitored. Waist circumference was measured in duplicate to the nearest 0.1 cm, at the level of the upper iliac crest at the end of a normal exhalation. Dietary intake was assessed by duplicate self-administered 24-h dietary recall (22). Data are summarized as the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), reflecting adherence to DASH (23) and future health outcomes (24). Each of the above duplicate measures was averaged at each visit. Physical activity (PA) in kilocalories per week was assessed by the Paffenbarger questionnaire (25). Statistical analysis Measurements Study measurements were collected on-site in all randomized participants at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months by trained, certified study personnel. Weight was measured in duplicate to the nearest 0.1 lb, with the participant in light indoor clothes without shoes, using a high-quality calibrated digital scale. www.obesityjournal.org The primary analysis was based on intention-to-treat principles. The outcome for the two main study hypotheses (CP vs. Control and PC vs. Control) was absolute weight change in kilograms from baseline to 24 months. A constrained longitudinal data analysis model (cLDA) was used to estimate changes in absolute weight over time and test the primary hypotheses (26). The variables in the model included dichotomous stratification factors (BMI 25 to <30 vs. BMI 30 kg/m2, and male vs. female), a time effect, and the Obesity | VOLUME 23 | NUMBER 11 | NOVEMBER 2015 2135 Obesity CITY Weight Loss Trial—Main Results Svetkey et al.
