dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND There are few evidence based mobile health solutions for treating adolescent obesity The primary aim of this parallel non inferiority trial is to assess the effectiveness of an experimental smartphone application in reducing obesity at 12 months compared to the Temple Street W82GO Healthy Lifestyles intervention METHODS DESIGN The primary outcome measure is change in body mass index standardised deviation score at 12 months The secondary aim is to compare the effect of treatment on secondary outcomes including waist circumference insulin sensitivity quality of life physical activity and psychosocial health Adolescents with a body mass index at or above the 98th percentile 12 to 17 years will be recruited from the Obesity clinic at Temple Street Children s University Hospital in Dublin Ireland W82GO is a family based lifestyle change intervention delivered in two phases over 12 months In the current study participants will be randomised for phase two of treatment to either usual care or care delivered via smartphone application One hundred and thirty four participants will be randomised between the two study arms An intention to treat analysis will be used to compare treatment differences between the groups at 12 months DISCUSSION The results of this study will be disseminated via open access publication and will provide important information for clinicians patients and policy makers regarding the use of mobile health interventions in the management of adolescent obesity TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials gov NCT01804855
