• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 15 (actual)
• Sponsor: University of Pittsburgh · Academic / Other

• Age: 14 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to enable the investigator to conduct proof of concept work related to the feasibility, acceptability, initial efficacy and mechanisms of action (focusing on maternal and infant modifiable factors) for a novel self-management intervention for pregnant women.

Detailed description

This proposed study aims to adapt intervention to address excessive gestational weight gain and psychosocial functioning among a socioeconomically and racially diverse sample of pregnant women .Additionally, data on behavioral mechanisms associated with self-regulatory capacity, such as impulsive control and the ability to delay rewards, that may be linked to self-regulation during pregnancy are needed to support future interventions. In this study, the investigators will develop and adapt an intervention (Self-Management Around the Reproductive Transition; SMART) that addresses maternal weight, stress, and mood, and document the feasibility, acceptability and initial efficacy of the SMART intervention.
