The goal is to see if this program can improve your eating habits, your confidence in healthy eating, and your motivation to control your diet. We are looking for 40 pregnant women who speak and read English and are eligible for EBT (Electronics Benefit Transfer) and/or WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) benefits. The study is currently recruiting participants.
