Summary

MAASTHI (Maternal Antecedents of Adiposity Studying the Transgenerational role of Hyperglycaemia and Insulin) is a prospective birth cohort with the aim of assessing the effects of glucose levels in pregnancy on the risk of adverse infant outcomes, especially in predicting the possible risk markers of later chronic diseases. The recruitment of the pregnant women in MAASTHI has begun in the month of April 2016. Of the eligible pregnant women only 77% completed the oral glucose tolerance tests.The follow ups of mother and child are conducted at birth and annually during the year 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the child. Despite stringent adherence of including only the residents of the source population, nearly 13% of the women were lost to follow-ups at birth. In order to prevent further loss to follow-ups in subsequent visits, the investigators aim to explore whether interventions involving innovative Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) and conducting mother and baby workshops can improve in the number pf women undergoing lab tests and subsequent follow-ups.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Interactive voice response system

IVR allows the pregnant women, their family members to interact with a computer system using a telephone.Through IVR, women receive a 2-3 minute call that reminds them of lab test, their next follow-up visit and also provides information on child care attendance, breastfeeding, introduction of solid foods, motor development, and sleep.
