Summary

In this mixed methods study, the investigators assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a remote health coach intervention to promote healthful lifestyle behaviors among overweight pregnant women. At one northeastern US clinic, the investigators enrolled 30 overweight (pre-pregnancy BMI≥25 kg/m2) pregnant women at a median gestation of 12.5 weeks (IQR: 11-15) into a one arm intervention trial. The investigators connected participants with a health coach to provide behavioral support to help participants adopt or maintain healthy lifestyle goals during pregnancy. Health coaches contacted participants by phone every 2-3 weeks to monitor goals, and sent emails and text messages to check-in between calls. To assess the intervention, participants completed baseline (N=30) and follow-up surveys at the end of the intervention (N=26), as well as follow-up phone interviews (N=18).
