STRIVE Trial Summary

This trial compares two approaches to help postpartum women prevent diabetes, one with in-person health coaching and the other with tech-assisted health coaching.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for postpartum women who are 18 or older, gave birth within the last year, and have obesity or a history of gestational diabetes. They should not currently have diabetes (except gestational), plan to become pregnant soon, or move away in the next year. Access to a smartphone is required.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The STRIVE study compares two ways of delivering a Diabetes Prevention Program: one with an in-person health coach at WIC clinics and another combining in-person sessions with technology support like apps.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves lifestyle interventions rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or fatigue but will vary based on individual experiences.

STRIVE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: In-person health coach strategyActive Control1 Intervention
Delivery of 24 health coaching sessions in-person by health coaches over 1 year. Standard delivery of 24-sessions of the Group Lifestyle Balance (GLB) behavioral intervention in WIC clinics. The GLB was adapted from the original Lifestyle Balance behavioral intervention used in the original Diabetes Prevention Program trial for use in community translation and group settings. It focuses on improving diet and physical activity and promoting moderate weight loss through health coaching on behavioral change, including self-monitoring of food intake, physical activity, and weight.
Group II: Multifaceted technology-assisted health coach implementation strategyActive Control1 Intervention
Delivery of 12 health coaching GLB sessions in-person by health coaches over one year; supplemental technology support, including tools for self-monitoring, health coach monitoring, asynchronous delivery of intervention materials, and asynchronous coach and group connection. The GLB was adapted from the original Lifestyle Balance behavioral intervention used in the original Diabetes Prevention Program trial for use in community translation and group settings. It focuses on improving diet and physical activity and promoting moderate weight loss through health coaching on behavioral change, including self-monitoring of food intake, physical activity, and weight.
