Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Obesity and cardiometabolic risks are significant public health issues, with about two-thirds of U.S. adults overweight or obese. Weight loss can prevent these health problems, but current lifestyle interventions have limited success. New, effective strategies are needed to address this rising issue at the population level. The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how a behavioral intervention combined with technology impacts weight loss in young adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: • How does the combination of behavioral intervention and technology influence weight loss in young adults?
