| Project | Tackling childhood obesity through digital tools that address the underlying psychological drivers for Emotional Eating, physical inactivity, and unhealthy eating |
|---|---|
| Description |
Emotional Eating, where lowered mood or raised anxiety leads to eating superfluous, often unhealthy, food, is a significant contributor to childhood obesity. This feasibility study will plan and design innovative, positive, and empowering digital tools to help children recognise and overcome Emotional Eating, increase physical activity, and eat more healthily. These new digital tools will be designed for incorporation within Headway, the suite of digital mental health tools that we have been developing with our collaborators at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex. |
