Food Provision in Prenatal Care for Gestational Weight Gain
This study is looking at whether providing healthy food during pregnancy can help reduce excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG). You might be able to join if you are a woman between 16 and 44 years old, up to 22 weeks pregnant, speak English, Spanish, or Marshallese, have a valid email, and live in Arkansas. The study will compare two groups: one receiving standard nutrition counseling (Standard of Care) and another receiving the same counseling plus food provision. The main goal is to see if food provision reduces the number of women who gain too much weight during pregnancy. The current status of this study is unclear.
