About this study

Official title: Implementation of Education on Calorie Tracking Application to Improve Adherence to a Calorie Restricted Weight Management Program

To examine is user knowledge of a dietary self-monitoring (DSM) calorie tracking app and improving patient adherence to daily caloric food intake to help with weight loss.

Read the detailed description

The research question guiding this project is: In adults with a BMI greater than 25 kg/m2, does a 1-hour education session on using a calorie-tracking application improve adherence to a calorie-restricted weight management program over eight weeks? This project aimed to increase patient knowledge with the DSM tool. To Increase adherence to the calorie-restricted diet program and, finally, to increase weight loss in the program participants of the 8-week program

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Perceived Competence Scale (PCS) Score

    The Perceived Competence Scale (PCS) will be the open-access validated tool used for this project. This will be the 4 questions pretest/posttest utilized. A 1-hour education session will provide training on the use of a DSM calorie-tracking app. Following this will be an 8-week in-person weight management program focusing on a daily calorie and carb restriction and protein goal. Each item is scored from 1 to 4, where a score of 1 indicates low perceived competence and a score of 4 reflects high perceived competence. Scores are summed and then averaged for each subscale, resulting in four separate subscale means.

    Measured: Baseline
