Official title Feasibility of an ADAPTive Intervention to Improve Food Security and Maternal-Child Health
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06942598
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Food insecurity affects up to 30% of pregnancies and leads to worse health in pregnant people and their children, including an increased risk of gestational diabetes, pre-term birth, and future cardiometabolic chronic conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes and obesity). Interventions are being utilized to address food insecurity in clinical care settings, but patients differ in the support needed to reduce food insecurity and health systems have limited resources to invest in these interventions.
