Examining the Impact of a Codeveloped Multicomponent Mobile eHealth Lifestyle Intervention on Physical Activity and Its Association With Gestational Weight Gain in Underserved Women: A Statewide Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Underserved pregnant women have a greater risk of excessive or inadequate gestational weight gain (GWG) and adverse perinatal outcomes. In the United States, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides supplemental nutrition and is uniquely positioned to deliver equitable interventions that support recommended GWG. Yet to date, no randomized controlled trials have evaluated behavioral strategies for managing GWG in this setting.
