Tailoring of Health-Promotion Video Messaging for Reproductive-Aged Women at Risk for Developing Cardiometabolic Disease: Qualitative Focus-Groups Study.

Background: Targeting reproductive-aged women at high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) provides an opportunity for prevention earlier in the life course. A woman's experiences during her reproductive years may have a large impact on her future risk of T2D. Her risk is 7 to 10 times higher if she has had gestational diabetes (GDM).

Some key questions: Pregnancy intention screening by community health workers.

Background: Unintended pregnancy contributes to a high burden of maternal and fetal morbidity in the United States, and pregnancy intention screening offers a key strategy to improve preconception health and reproductive health equity. The One Key Question is a pregnancy intention screening tool that asks a single question, "Would you like to become pregnant in the next year?" to all reproductive-age women. This study explored the perspectives of community health workers on using One Key Question in community-based settings.

Perceptions about future health trajectories among women at risk for developing cardiometabolic disease: A qualitative study.

Background: The reproductive years provide a window into future risk for Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM); women's risk is seven to 10 times higher after gestational diabetes (GDM) and two to four times higher after a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). Targeting reproductive-aged women at high risk for T2DM could reduce future T2DM incidence. However, little is known about such women's diabetes risk perceptions, or their knowledge or barriers/motivators of lifestyle change-information essential to understanding how to engage these at-risk women in tailored prevention programs promoting long-term health.
