Description

Zoë van der Heijden and seven co-authors map digital diet programs for youth in a scoping review from two thousand twenty-four. Childhood overweight has risen fast, and many app or web programs now target eating habits. No coherent overview of their design and results existed.

Three databases yielded fifty-one studies covering forty-one distinct programs. Apps were the commonest format, then websites and computer tools. Most programs involved stakeholders in design, though few used true co-design. Programs used about six behavior change techniques each, most often feedback and rewards. Among trials, results were mostly mixed, with few programs favorable on all outcomes. The authors say varied methods make firm verdicts on what works hard to reach.
