Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a RCT to pilot test an innovative multiple health behavior intervention to influence three areas of health for pregnant and parenting adolescents: breastfeeding, healthy eating/active living, and depression prevention. Intervention and control groups will be compared in the main outcomes of the study (see 4.2.c. and 4.3). Beginning in the last eight weeks of pregnancy and extending to one month after giving birth, we use mobile health technology (e.g., iPad minis) to deliver multi-media educational modules, text-messaging, virtual home visits with professionals using secure televideo, and real-time peer group support over televideo. At birth, five weeks, and three months after giving birth, effectiveness of the program outcomes will be assessed and compared to a usual care control group and include breastfeeding/infant-feeding practices; healthy eating and physical activity; and depressive symptoms. This is the first known study to address these multiple behaviors simultaneously with pregnant and parenting adolescent women.
