Improving Diet Quality of People Living With Obesity by Building Effective Dietetic Service Delivery Using Technology in a Primary Health Care Setting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Improving Diet Quality of People Living With Obesity by Building Effective Dietetic Service Delivery Using Technology in a Primary Health Care Setting: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The objective is to compare the effectiveness of a 1-year digital dietary intervention on body weight reduction and improved diet quality, in adults living with obesity delivered by dietitians in a primary care setting, with a control group. The chat2 (Connecting Health and Technology 2) study is a 1-year randomized controlled trial (RCT). Consenting participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to an intervention or minimal intervention control group.

Training Australian Dietitians in Behavior Change Techniques Through Educational Workshops: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Training Australian Dietitians in Behavior Change Techniques Through Educational Workshops: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial with a 3-month follow-up. Participants will complete a questionnaire at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention. Participants will express their interest to participate in the study through a Qualtrics survey. Informed consent will be obtained at the start of this survey. Following this initial survey, dietitians will be randomized in blocks of 4 into either the intervention or a waitlist control condition (1:1).

Accuracy and Cost-effectiveness of Technology-Assisted Dietary Assessment Comparing the Automated Self-administered Dietary Assessment Tool, Intake24, and an Image-Assisted Mobile Food Record 24-Hour Recall Relative to Observed Intake: Protocol for a Randomized Crossover Feeding Study

Accuracy and Cost-effectiveness of Technology-Assisted Dietary Assessment Comparing the Automated Self-administered Dietary Assessment Tool, Intake24, and an Image-Assisted Mobile Food Record 24-Hour Recall Relative to Observed Intake: Protocol for a Randomized Crossover Feeding Study

AMPM is a web-based interface designed for surveillance, typically implemented in-person by a trained interviewer, which adds to the cost of undertaking large-scale surveys. The AMPM provides a structured interview format with specific probes in 5 structured sets or passes: a quick list, forgotten foods pass, time and occasion pass, detail pass, and final review [10]. Portion size estimation is addressed using a food model booklet.

Design and Development of a Digital Weight Management Intervention (ToDAy): Qualitative Study

Design and Development of a Digital Weight Management Intervention (ToDAy): Qualitative Study

The advertisements also direct people to a campaign website where there is an option to enroll on the web to access a meal planner, recipes, and weight-monitoring tools and to receive update emails. The Tailored Diet and Activity (To DAy) study aims to build a digital intervention that provides individualized tailored feedback on dietary and activity behaviors.

Investigating the Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of Technology-Delivered Personalized Feedback on Dietary Patterns in Young Australian Adults in the Advice, Ideas, and Motivation for My Eating (Aim4Me) Study: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Investigating the Efficacy and Cost-Effectiveness of Technology-Delivered Personalized Feedback on Dietary Patterns in Young Australian Adults in the Advice, Ideas, and Motivation for My Eating (Aim4Me) Study: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In Australia, young adults (aged 18-24 years) are gaining weight and at a faster rate than any other adult age group [1,2], with 31.5% [3] affected by overweight or obesity. Studies report weight gain of around 0.5 kg to 1 kg (1-2 lbs) per year over a 5- to 10-year period in young adults [4-6]. Becoming overweight or obese at a young age increases the risk of noncommunicable chronic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and specific cancers [7].

Adolescents Just Do Not Know What They Want: A Qualitative Study to Describe Obese Adolescents’ Experiences of Text Messaging to Support Behavior Change Maintenance Post Intervention

Adolescents Just Do Not Know What They Want: A Qualitative Study to Describe Obese Adolescents’ Experiences of Text Messaging to Support Behavior Change Maintenance Post Intervention

Kornman et al [7] described only a modest level of adolescent engagement with their text messaging and email adjunct to the Loozit program, with adolescents responding to 22.0% of text messages over a 10-month maintenance period. The authors found that text messages asking for a response had more replies and text messages had a more immediate response than the emails. Whether text messaging can be used to maintain engagement of overweight adolescents in a healthy lifestyle program remains unclear.

Novel Technologies for Assessing Dietary Intake: Evaluating the Usability of a Mobile Telephone Food Record Among Adults and Adolescents

Novel Technologies for Assessing Dietary Intake: Evaluating the Usability of a Mobile Telephone Food Record Among Adults and Adolescents

As a result of these limitations, early investigators concluded that the technology was a barrier to collecting accurate information. However, with the rapid advancement in the capabilities of mobile devices, researchers are now pursuing image-based methods as a way of addressing the limitations of traditional dietary assessment methods [21-23].
