Measure
Full Version of the LIITah App.
Participants will be given the LIITAH app. which consists of 1) enhanced location identification (ELI), 2) self reported nutrients by annotated photos (SNAP), 3) delivery of individually and culturally tailored point of purchase (POP) prompts along with tailored messages sent at other times of the day, 4) use of app. in connection with parents, 5) goal setting, 6) a point system Full version of the LIITah App.: Participants will download the LIITAH app. For the first 2 weeks the app. will only record presence in a restaurant and ask users to submit photos of their food. in week 3 all of the program features will be activated.
Partial App. (ELI and SNAP Only)
Participants will be given only the ELI and SNAP components. It will detect their presence in a restaurant and allow users to document their purchases by submitting annotated photos, but it will not deliver any POP prompts encouraging them to make healthy choices, or messages at other times of the day. Partial App. (ELI and SNAP only): Participants will download the LIITAH app. It will detect their presence in a restaurant and users will submit annotated photos of their purchases

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: over 6 weeks

Number of calories purchased by the adolescent and for the adolescent were assessed using annotated photos, and nutritional data from the restaurant menus. This analysis used population averaged generalized estimating equation regressions (GEE) to compare trajectories of calories purchased between groups. The GEE approach allowed for the correlation in repeated observations collected from participants over time. This outcome measure is based exclusively on adolescent data.
