Adherence

The efficacy of the vegetable consumption app is moderated by baseline vegetable intake; users with higher baseline consumption benefit significantly more from the intervention.

If you already eat a decent amount of vegetables, a tracking app will likely boost your intake even more than if you eat few vegetables. The app's gamification resonates more with those who already value vegetables.
