Control Systems Engineering for Optimizing a Prenatal Weight Gain Intervention
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention group and Control group for Overweight and Obesity and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose is to establish feasibility of delivering an individually-tailored, behavioral intervention to manage gestational weight gain \[GWG\] that adapts to the unique needs and challenges of overweight/obese pregnant women \[OW/OBPW\] and will utilize control systems engineering to optimize this intervention; in other words, make this intervention manage GWG in OW/OBPW as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During the intervention, all participants will start out at the Baseline level. The baseline level will last 2 weeks and there will be an assessment to determine weight gain over those 2 weeks. If weight gain has succeeded the recommended amount, participants will be adapted up to a new level of intervention that includes education on GWG, healthy eating and physical activity. After every 4 weeks, an assessment will be performed and adaptations up will be made if necessary. Adaptations include addition of exercise sessions, healthy eating recipe demonstrations, and meal replacements. Participants will weigh themselves daily, wear an activity monitor, record their diet, and complete paper and online surveys.
Participants will follow the same self-monitoring/assessment schedule but will not receive the GWG, healthy eating, and physical activity education or adaptations.
