This study is looking at two different approaches to help African American pregnant women who are overweight or obese. One approach, called BETTER, focuses on improving sleep habits through sleep hygiene and behavioral techniques. The other, called Birth Prep, provides training on pregnancy-related issues. The goal is to see if these interventions can improve your blood sugar levels (fasting glucose) during pregnancy. You might be able to join if you are an African American woman, 18-40 years old, 16-22 weeks pregnant with one baby, and receive prenatal care at the University of Illinois Hospital & Health Sciences System. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design

This is a randomized controlled study with two groups, aiming to enroll 150 participants. You would be assigned by chance to either the BETTER sleep intervention or the Birth Prep intervention.

What's involved

You would have baseline assessments between 16 and 22 weeks of pregnancy, and then another fasting glucose measurement between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your blood sugar levels will be measured at baseline (16-22 weeks of pregnancy) and again between 28-32 weeks of pregnancy.
