Is the uptake, engagement, and effectiveness of exclusively mobile interventions for the promotion of weight‐related behaviors equal for all? A systematic review

Obesity Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24(3)

Published: Jan. 9, 2023

Summary Mobile health interventions are promising behavior change tools. However, there is a concern that they may benefit some populations less than others and thus widen inequalities in health. This systematic review investigated differences uptake of, engagement with, effectiveness of mobile for weight‐related behaviors (i.e., diet, physical activity, sedentary behavior) based on range inequality indicators including age, gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status. The protocol was registered PROSPERO (CRD42020192473). Six databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, ProQuest, PsycINFO, Pubmed, Web Science) were searched from inception to July 2021. Publications eligible inclusion if reported the results an exclusively intervention examined outcomes by at least one indicator. Sixteen publications reporting 13 studies included with most multiple indicators. Uptake study no studied.
