First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app that trains girls to manage food cravings can help them eat more fruits and vegetables. About 150 girls aged 14-18 will use the app twice a week for a year. Researchers will track diet quality, weight, and blood sugar to see if the app leads to healthier eating habits.
