NCT ID: NCT00950235

Last Updated: 2015-07-09

Participant Flow

English speaking, obese, age 18 or older receiving pregnancy care at an prepaid health plan clinic. Less than 21 weeks gestation. Recruitment November 2009-July 2011.

Women were invited to attend an informational meeting which explained the study and covered the elements of consent. Interested volunteers were asked to come back to the research setting for the baseline visit. Randomization occurred at the baseline visit after a final review of eligibility and signing a consent.
