{"doi":"10.1111/obr.13331","title":"E‐&amp;mHealth interventions targeting nutrition, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and/or obesity among children: A scoping review of systematic reviews and meta‐analyses","abstract":"Childhood obesity is a public health concern. Electronic and mobile health (e-&mHealth) approaches can facilitate the delivery of interventions for obesity prevention and treatment. Synthesizing reviews of e-&mHealth interventions to improve weight and weight-related behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior, and diet) is useful to characterize the current scope of the literature and identify opportunities for future reviews and studies. Using a scoping review methodology, we aimed to evaluate the breadth and methodological quality of systematic reviews and meta-analyses of e-&mHealth interventions targeting weight and weight-related behaviors in children and adolescents aged <19 years. A systematic search of seven databases was conducted, including reviews published between 2000 and 2019. Review characteristics were extracted, and methodological quality was assessed using the AMSTAR 2 tool. Forty-five systematic reviews and meta-analyses were included. All reviews evaluated intervention efficacy (100%), but few assessed other aspects (20% in total) such as cost-effectiveness. Smartphone applications (47%), text messages (44%), and websites (35%) were the main modalities. Weight (60%), physical activity (51%), and diet (44%) were frequently assessed, unlike sedentary behavior (8%). Most reviews were rated as having critically low or low methodological quality (97%). Reviews that identify the effective active ingredients of interventions and explore metrics beyond efficacy are recommended.","journal":"Obesity Reviews","year":2021,"id":163400,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":42,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9482,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2021-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":475039,"name":"Melinda Hutchesson","orcid":"0000-0002-1851-0661","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":683095,"name":"Mavra Ahmed","orcid":"0000-0001-6701-2557","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":683096,"name":"André Müller","orcid":"0000-0001-5770-6723","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":683097,"name":"Lee Ashton","orcid":"0000-0001-7362-0137","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":621051,"name":"Hannah Brown","orcid":"0000-0001-7933-3024","position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":683098,"name":"Ann DeSmet","orcid":"0000-0002-7473-140X","position":6,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":274791,"name":"Carol Maher","orcid":"0000-0002-8676-0224","position":7,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":683099,"name":"Chelsea E.
