Feasibility of a Prenatal Yoga Mobile App in African American Pregnant Women
This study is looking at whether a prenatal yoga app, called Down Dog, is a good fit for African American pregnant women. The main goals are to see if the app is acceptable and used by participants, and how their mental and physical health changes after 12 weeks of using it. Researchers also want to know if any cultural adjustments are needed for the app. The study plans to enroll 50 women, aged 18-46, who are pregnant with their first baby (primiparous) and are between 13-28 weeks pregnant. Success in this study means that the app is well-received and used, and that participants stay involved throughout the 12-week period. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 50 participants. It is a single-arm study, meaning all participants receive the Down Dog Prenatal Yoga App intervention.
- What's involved
- You would use the Down Dog prenatal yoga app for at least 20 minutes a day, three days a week, from home for 12 weeks. You would also wear a Garmin Vivosmart 5 watch daily and complete four online surveys, with an optional virtual interview.
- Compensation
- You will receive a free yoga mat and Garmin Vivosmart 5 device.
- Follow-up
- You will be followed for 12 weeks during the intervention period, with assessments at the end of this time.

What this trial measures
- Acceptability of the interventionPost intervention (12 weeks)
Assessed using an investigator-developed questionnaire using a 5 point likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Acceptability benchmark: \> 70% of participants report the intervention to be satisfactory, intend to continue using the app, and perceive the app content to be appropriate for pregnancy.
- Demand of the interventionAssessed across 12-week study period
Assessed by measuring actual use of the mobile app with data analytics provided from Down dog. Demand benchmark: \>70% of participants complete at least 75% of their weekly prescribed minutes (i.e., ≥ 45 of 60 minutes per week).
- RetentionAssessed across 12-week study period
Assessed by calculating the proportion of enrolled participants that complete intervention vs withdrawals. Retention benchmark: ≥70% (N=35) complete the intervention.
- Ease of recruitmentAssessed at enrollment
Assessed by evaluating enrollment rate. Recruitment benchmark: \>8 participants will be enrolled each month on average.
