First responders age 18 and older who have used the Internet or a phone/tablet app for weight management or to find weight loss information can take part in this study and earn a $30 gift card. Participants will need to provide identification showing their first responder status and complete two surveys via email, one 20-minute initial survey and a 15-minute follow up survey.
