Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The investigators hypothesize that program participants who receive the tailored text messages will experience lower attrition rates, increased treatment adherence, and greater weight loss compared to those program participants who do not receive the messages.

Text Messaging
Tailored Mobile Messages to Enhance Weight Loss for Teens
For this trial adolescents will be allowed to use their own phone (with reimbursement for any study-related costs), or will be provided with a mobile phone, if requested. Participants will receive messages delivered daily over the course of 20 weeks. The content of the messages will be tailored on participants' responses to the MPOWER enrollment survey and the initial tailoring questionnaire. On school days, all messages will be sent after 3 pm (which is after school hours for most Michigan middle and high schools). Therefore, patients will not need to carry cell phones to school. The tailored messages will utilize various degrees of personalization, adaptation and feedback - including momentary assessments with feedback requiring a text reply from the adolescents.
Control
Participation in the MPOWER program without receiving tailored text messages
