Goals
"The MINISTOP trial will evaluate the impact of a mHealth intervention to counteract obesity in 4-year-old children. Worldwide, very few interventions have been conducted in children under 5 years of age [8,9,42], and none to date have evaluated mHealth interventions." (Authors, in Discussion)
