Healthy for Two-Home Visiting (H42-HV): Health Coaching for Pregnant Women
This study, called Healthy for Two-Home Visiting (H42-HV), is looking at whether health coaching can help pregnant women manage their weight after giving birth. It compares a program called H42-HV, which includes health coaching calls, a web app, and mobile tracking, with standard home visiting services. The goal is to see if H42-HV can reduce how much weight women keep on six months after delivery, ultimately aiming to improve their long-term heart health. You might be able to join if you are pregnant (up to 33 weeks), expecting one baby, have a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) of 25 or higher, and can speak English or Spanish. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 360 participants.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 360 pregnant women. It compares two behavioral interventions: Healthy for Two-Health Coaching (H42) and Maintain Healthy in Pregnancy and Postpartum (mHIPP).
- What's involved
- You would participate in health coaching calls from 20-33 weeks of pregnancy through 6 months postpartum. This also involves using a web-based app, tracking health behaviors like diet and exercise, and weighing yourself weekly.

- Follow-up
- Your weight will be measured at the start of the study and again 6 months after you give birth to see the change in postpartum weight.
