Brief Summary
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of brief lifestyle intervention modules designed to promote healthy eating, activity, and weight control for pregnant and postpartum clients receiving care as part of evidence-based home visiting.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of brief lifestyle intervention modules designed to promote healthy eating, activity, and weight control behaviors for pregnant and postpartum clients receiving care as part of evidence-based home visiting. A 6 week, pre-post test of evidence-based home visiting (usual care) plus three lifestyle intervention modules (eating, activity, tracking) will be conducted at two sites (California and Rhode Island). Three, 10 minute intervention modules will target healthy eating, activity, and self-monitoring of weight and diet. Pregnant and postpartum clients (N =20) in home visiting programs will be recruited over 2 months and evaluated at baseline and after 6 weeks. Home visitors will participate in one training session and deliver the intervention content during three visits over 6 weeks. Quantitative data from will inform feasibility of lifestyle intervention within evidence-based home visiting. Findings will inform the cardiovascular health intervention and study protocol for a full scale trial.
