NCT ID NCT02701426
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 195 overweight or obese pregnant women to understand what factors influence their decision to join a 12-week program combining nutritional counseling and physical activity. The program included three diet workshops and weekly exercise sessions. Researchers analyzed 15 factors, such as personal beliefs and health history, to see why some women participate while others do not. The goal is to improve future programs to help more women manage weight and reduce pregnancy complications.
