Audio-recordings were transcribed verbatim and organized in Microsoft 365. Data were analyzed using an exploratory, inductive thematic analysis.Participants' mean age was 27.5 (± 5.4) years and mean pre-pregnancy BMI was 29.5 kg/m2 (± 2.7). The majority (71%) were non-Hispanic White and 54% had a high school education/some college. Based on specific areas of inquiry, the following themes emerged: convenience of online program access using Facebook, importance of health coach's support and online interaction, positivity toward improving one's health, increased consciousness of health behaviors, diverse lactation educational needs, importance of educational materials on depression, and grief over the loss of birth expectations during COVID-19.Findings suggest participants' perceived value of a lifestyle change program coupled with lactation education and support delivered using social media. Findings inform future studies to further adapt lifestyle change programs.JacobsonLisette TLT0000-0002-1825-4346Department of Population Health, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.BakhacheNathalieNDepartment of Population Health, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.DowlingJolynnJSchool of Nursing, Wichita State University, Wichita, KS, USA.OkutHayrettinHDepartment of Population Health, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.ZackulaRoseyRUniversity of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.RobbinsDavid CDCDiabetes Institute, University of Kansas Medical Center-Kansas City, Kansas City, KS, USA.SternJudy EJEDepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health and the Geisel School of Medicine, Lebanon, NH, USA.GraingerDavid ADADepartment of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, Wichita, KS, USA.BefortChristieCDepartment of Population Health, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Kansas City, Kansas City, KS, USA.engClinicalTrials.govNCT04021602K01 DK113048DKNIDDK NIH HHSUnited StatesRandomized Controlled TrialJournal ArticleResearch Support, N.I.H., Extramural20230718
