StEP:Prenatal
StEP is a health care-based intervention based on elements of Social Cognitive Theory, in which registered dietitians with additional certified lactation counselor training (RD/CLC) provide individual and group-based support for healthy diet, physical activity, other lifestyle behaviors, stress reduction, and healthy gestational weight gain. StEP:Prenatal will be delivered remotely. There are up to 8 sessions scheduled around the routine prenatal care visits and designed to be offered from the first trimester of pregnancy through delivery.
Routine Care
Routine care includes routine prenatal and post-partum primary care visits, on-site WIC services and referrals for additional services as needed (e.g., women with poor weight gain, obesity, or diabetes may be offered additional nutrition visits).
