New Obesity Research from Linkoping University Outlined (MINISTOP 3.0: Implementation of a mHealth obesity prevention program within Swedish child healthcare - study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial).

A new report from Linkoping University outlines a study protocol for a cluster randomized controlled trial on the implementation of a mobile health (mHealth) obesity prevention program called MINISTOP 3.0 within Swedish child healthcare. The study aims to compare two different implementation strategies for MINISTOP 3.0 and evaluate its acceptability, feasibility, and cost-effectiveness. The researchers will also explore the sustainability of the program and evaluate its effectiveness on children's lifestyle behaviors and body mass index. The study will provide important implementation evidence for mHealth interventions in child healthcare and has the potential to be generalized to other digital interventions in this field.
