WW International, Inc., New York, NY, USA.
Multicomponent interventions are the first line of treatment for pediatric obesity, but are challenging to access. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions hold promise as they address commonly cited barriers for attending in person programs and have potential for wide scale dissemination. This retrospective cohort study examined data from youth who enrolled in the program, which includes personal health coaching and a mobile app.

Background: Effective, resource-efficient treatment is urgently needed to address the high rates of pediatric and adolescent obesity. This need has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Effective treatment of obesity in children and adolescents traditionally requires frequent in-person contact, and it is often limited by low participant engagement. Mobile health tools may offer alternative models that enhance participant engagement.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess child engagement over time, with a mobile app-based health coaching and behavior change program for weight management, and to examine the association between engagement and change in weight status.
