weight loss
RECRUITMENT
Delivering a lifestyle intervention to postpartum women via both in-person and Facebook groups was feasible and acceptable and resulted in weight loss. However, barriers to attending in-person meetings hampered recruitment efforts and attendance at in-person intervention meetings. Although women found the Facebook group convenient and stayed engaged in the group, weight loss appeared lower than that with in-person delivery. Research is needed to further develop care models for postpartum weight loss that balance accessibility with efficacy.This project was supported by National Institutes of Health grant R34HL136979 (principal investigator: MEW).
