About this study

In plain language

SMARTLife Utah tests ways to help more community health center patients join proven digital programs for obesity. It uses clinic technology, text messages, and support to help adults with obesity sign up.

The long-term objective of SMARTLife Utah is to increase the reach of existing digital EBIs for obesity among patients of Community Health Centers (CHCs). SMARTLife Utah will be conducted in up to 11 Community Health Center (CHC) systems, consisting of 38 primary care clinics. SMARTLife Utah is a hybrid Type III effectiveness-implementation design, utilizing a pragmatic, multilevel, three-phase Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART). SMARTLife Utah leverages ubiquitous health information technology(HIT)/telehealth for both the implementation strategies and Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) delivery in order to address barriers for engaging in EBIs. Implementation strategies target two different levels to increase the reach of EBIs: 1. a clinic-level HIT implementation strategy that includes enhanced system supports at the point of care; and 2. patient-level implementation strategies that provide repeated opportunities to enroll in EBIs, as well as motivation/practical problem-solving to facilitate enrollment.
