Effects of a behavioral intervention on physical activity, diet, and health-related quality of life in postpartum women with elevated weight: results of the HIPP randomized controlled trial.

Background: Approaches to improve physical activity (PA), diet, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) during postpartum in diverse women with elevated weight are needed.

Methods: Health In Pregnancy and Postpartum (HIPP) was a randomized controlled trial that followed African American and white women with overweight or obesity from pregnancy through 12 months postpartum. Participants were randomized to a behavioral intervention grounded in social cognitive theory (n = 112) or standard care (n = 107).

Constructs from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research associated with church enrollment and intervention adoption in a national implementation study of a faith-based organizational change intervention.

The purpose of this study was to report recruitment strategies and factors associated with church enrollment and intervention adoption in a national implementation study of the Faith, Activity, and Nutrition (FAN) program.

Methods: We worked with partners using multiple strategies to disseminate intervention availability.
