Experimental Treatment
Group I: TreatmentExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be asked use a mobile health (m-health) app for 2 months.

Both adolescent and parent/adult caretaker participants will use the app to enter weekly self-report data, set healthy eating and exercise goals, and receive educational and motivational content. Participants will conduct a weekly self-assessment of waist circumference, diet, and physical activity during the 2 month trial.
