This first evaluation has the following aims to: 1) describe reach; 2) determine utilization/adherence to strategies implemented in the app and predictors of utilization/adherence; 3) assess change in knowledge and lifestyles behaviours associated with obesity as well as assess mediators of behaviour change. As this is a formative evaluation, it will prospectively follow 500 families for 4.5 months.
