DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Phase II SBIR application proposes the development and testing of a theory-based health promotion mobile phone application, BodiMojo, for adolescents (ages 13-18). The product is designed to: (1) promote wellness, healthy eating and physical activity in adolescents through a mobile program that can be accessed via any cell phone or wireless device; and (2) develop a service administrator tool for health clinics and youth organizations to monitor and reward progress among their youth. Efforts to prevent obesity and improve nutrition intake and physical activity are very challenging to implement with this age group. This is in large part due to difficulties in program uptake and adherence, as well as social stigmatization and a lack of a sense of urgency about potential long-term adverse outcomes in adulthood. Phase I results clearly identified the need to engage teenagers with personal relevancy and to promote positive actions and reward small successes that may lead to behavior change. Attention to psychosocial issues such as mood and body image is clearly key to success in obesity prevention efforts. This project is designed to improve psychosocial factors, including body esteem, mood, and goal adherence, as they mediate the adoption of healthy eating and physical activity behaviors. Based on the proof-of-concept in Phase I, this application intends to fully develop the mobile program using gamification and social networks by capitalizing on the unique and broad-based capability of mobile phones. The second aim will be to develop a web-based tool and manual for health centers and school health staff to engage and track youth members in their efforts toward improving health behaviors. The final aim is to test the efficacy of and adherence to the mobile program in a randomized controlled field study among overweight and obese adolescents who are members of a large HMO. By addressing the unique needs of adolescents in the context of current technological innovations, BodiMojo offers a mobile-based personalized health promotion program that can reach large populations. At the same time BodiMojo facilitates goal attainment, provides empirically-based health information, and offers personalized feedback in a timely and confidential manner that extends beyond the reach of the clinical encounter or educational setting.

描述（由申请人提供）：本II阶段SBIR申请提出了针对青少年的基于理论的健康促进手机应用程序Bodimojo的开发和测试（13-18岁）。该产品旨在：（1）通过任何手机或无线设备访问的移动程序，在青少年中促进健康，健康饮食和体育锻炼； （2）为卫生诊所和青年组织开发服务管理员工具，以监视和奖励青年的进步。预防肥胖和改善营养摄入和体育锻炼的努力对于与这个年龄段的群体实施非常具有挑战性。这在很大程度上是由于计划吸收和遵守的困难以及社会污名化以及对成年后潜在的长期不良后果的紧迫感缺乏紧迫感。第一阶段的结果清楚地表明，有必要使青少年具有个人相关性，并促进积极的行动并奖励可能导致行为改变的小成功。对心情和身体形象等社会心理问题的关注显然是预防肥胖工作成功的关键。该项目旨在改善社会心理因素，包括身体自尊，情绪和目标依从性，因为它们介导了健康饮食和体育锻炼行为的采用。根据第一阶段的概念验证，该应用程序旨在通过利用手机的独特和广泛的手机能力来充分使用游戏化和社交网络充分开发移动程序。第二个目的是为卫生中心和学校健康人员开发基于网络的工具和手册，以吸引和跟踪青年成员，以改善健康行为。最终目的是在超重和肥胖的青少年中，在大型HMO成员的超重和肥胖青少年中，在随机对照现场研究中测试移动计划的功效。通过在当前技术创新的背景下满足青少年的独特需求，Bodimojo提供了一个基于移动的个性化健康促进计划，可以吸引大量人群。同时，Bodimojo促进了目标实现，提供基于经验的健康信息，并以及时和机密的方式提供个性化的反馈，超出了临床遭遇或教育环境的范围。
