Internet Program Useful for Adolescent Weight Management

摘要

The intervention consisted of a 16-week Internet-based program (StudentBodies-2-BED [SB2-BED]) designed to help users implement cognitive behavior techniques to control weight, including self-monitoring, goal setting, stimulus control, appetite awareness, and emotion regulation skills. Because the highest degree of participation occurred in the early weeks of the program, a front-loaded intervention with "booster" sessions might make future programs more effective.
