The Mobile-based intervention intended to stop obesity in preschoolers (MINISTOP) program has been developed to be a comprehensive digital support program for all children irrespective of weight status. However, a one size fits all approach may not be sufficient as some families may require extra support through in-person activities to achieve the required lifestyle behaviour change in order to attain and maintain a healthy weight. Therefore, the aims of this pilot randomized controlled trial are to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the MINISTOP Plus Program in pre-school children with overweight and obesity on: (i) children's BMI z-scores; (ii) intake of fruit and vegetables, sweet and savoury snacks, and sweet drinks; (iii) time spent in different physical activity intensities; (iv) screen time; and (v) parental self-efficacy.
