About this study

This study will pilot and assess feasibility of a prenatal intervention for obese pregnant women based on the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Intervention group participants will meet with a clinic dietitian for 15 minutes at every prenatal appointment to complete a DPP-based curriculum and receive breastfeeding education. Control group participants will receive usual prenatal care. Outcomes include reach and dose of the intervention, gestational weight gain, dietary intake, physical activity, and breastfeeding in the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Read the detailed description

This study will pilot and test feasibility of a prenatal lifestyle intervention designed to limit gestational weight gain and prevent gestational diabetes. The intervention is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention, will include prenatal breastfeeding education and online peer group support, and will be integrated into the participants' regular prenatal appointments. Women (n=24) will be enrolled in early pregnancy. After baseline assessments (demographics, maternal diet, physical activity, mental health), women randomized equally to the intervention or usual care conditions. Further data collection will occur at approximately 24 weeks gestation, 36 weeks gestation, and 6 weeks postpartum, and clinical data (weight, pregnancy and obstetric complications) will be abstracted from medical records at the end of the study. Outcomes include reach and dose of the intervention, gestational weight gain, dietary intake, physical activity, and breastfeeding in the first 6 weeks postpartum. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will reduce gestational weight gain, improve maternal dietary intake, increase total energy expenditure, and increase breastfeeding exclusivity in the first 6 weeks postpartum.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Dietary and Lifestyle CounselingExperimentalWomen randomized to the intervention group will meet with a dietary counselor for 15 minutes at every prenatal appointment. They will receive a dietary and lifestyle curriculum based on the Diabetes Prevention Program curriculum (11 lessons) with one additional lesson providing prenatal breastfeeding education. They will also have access to a private online Facebook page for additional education and peer group support.
Receives: Behavioral: Dietary and Lifestyle Counseling
Standard of CareNo interventionUsual prenatal care consists of regular clinical appointments, pregnancy ultrasounds, and recommendations to use prenatal multivitamins, eat a balanced diet, and remain physically active. Women with a pre-pregnant body mass index > 30 complete early glucose screening (as early as possible after presentation at the clinic) to detect pre-existing diabetes, and all women undergo routine gestational diabetes screening at 24-28 weeks. Women who test positive for pre-existing diabetes or gestational diabetes are referred to a registered dietitian.

    Change in daily servings of fruit from early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy, late pregnancy, and postpartum

    Measured: Assessed from 12 weeks gestation through 6 weeks postpartum

  2. Maternal vegetable intake

    Change in daily servings of vegetables from early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy, late pregnancy, and postpartum

    Measured: Assessed from 12 weeks gestation through 6 weeks postpartum

  3. Maternal whole grains intake

    Change in daily servings of whole grains from early pregnancy to mid-pregnancy, late pregnancy, and postpartum

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gestational weight gain (time frame: 40 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2017.
