LiGHT Trial Summary
This trial is testing whether a gamified app is better than a simple app at improving diet, physical activity, sleep, and screen time for youth aged 10-16.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for Canadian youth aged 10-16 who, along with a parent, want to improve their health behaviors like diet and exercise. They must have access to a smartphone or tablet with internet and be able to read English at a grade 5 level. Families already in weight management programs or other clinical trials can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two smartphone apps: Aim2Be which gamifies healthy living, and BnLt which provides links to health websites. It's designed to see if the game-like app helps kids and parents make better choices about food, physical activity, sleep, and screen time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle changes through app guidance rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects from interventions. However, participants may experience difficulty adjusting to new habits.
