Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In the wake of the pandemic, it is important to explore remote nutrition education programs during the pre- and postnatal period. This is the second phase of a bigger project, where a 6-week intensive remotely delivered nutrition and health education program called the PREPARE program will be piloted. Prepare stands for "Perinatal Remote Education for Pandemic Resilience", and it is a nutrition and health education program meant for pregnant and lactating women aimed at improving maternal and infant dietary diversity, maternal health literacy and increasing COVID-19 awareness. One hundred women will be selected from a pool of 233 women who completed a baseline survey last year. Fifty of them will receive the intervention and the other 50 will receive a delayed intervention.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The Perinatal Remote Education for Pandemic Resilience (PREARE) program is a 6-week intensive program aimed at increasing maternal and infant dietary diversity as well as maternal health literacy. Modules that will be completed in the program include education on early initiation of breastfeeding, food groups and the benefits of a balanced diet, appropriate meal frequency for mother and infant, and appropriate sources of health information. Information on personal hygiene and COVID-19 hygiene protocols as well as danger signs during pregnancy are included in the module to improve maternal knowledge on safety protocols and pregnancy complications.
