Text vs. talk: which pregnancy support works best?
NCT ID NCT06349070
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at two ways to give lifestyle advice to pregnant women: one using text messages and online videos, and the other using community health workers for group or individual sessions. Researchers want to see which method is more widely adopted and followed. About 1,050 pregnant women under 20 weeks will take part, and some will also complete surveys during and after pregnancy.
