BrainWeighve App Feasibility Study for Adolescent Weight Loss
This study is testing a smartphone app called BrainWeighve App, designed to help adolescents (ages 14-21) with obesity or who are overweight. The app aims to reduce over-eating behaviors by focusing on how stressful situations can lead to overeating. Researchers want to see how much participants use the app, how satisfied they are with it, and how well they engage with its features over 4 months. To join, you need to be 14-21 years old, have an iPhone (or be willing to use one provided), speak English, and show some motivation to make changes for weight loss. The current status of this study is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Quantity of Engagement with App4 months
Daily engagement as measured by minutes per day each participant spent in the app
- Satisfaction with the App as assessed by the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire4 months
The TSQ (Cox, Fergus \& Swinson, 1994) will be modified and used for this study to provide a quantitative assessment of participant satisfaction with the BrainWeighve app. The measure contains a nine item Likert-scale asking the participant to rate how satisfied they were with the app overall, its ease or difficulty of use, how satisfied they were with the impact the app had on their behaviors and weight loss, and if they would be likely to continue using it outside of a research study.
