This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The ENHANCE-CVH study is testing a program called PAT+HEALTH, which teaches pregnant women and new mothers about heart-healthy habits through home visits. The program focuses on healthy eating, physical activity, and lifestyle choices during pregnancy and the first two years after birth. Researchers want to see if this teaching approach helps pregnant women lose weight and develop healthier habits that protect both their heart health and their baby's long-term health.
Pregnant women with obesity face higher risks of heart disease and pregnancy complications, and these risks can affect their children's health too. This trial exists to test whether teaching heart-healthy habits early—during pregnancy and after birth—can prevent these problems and create healthier families.
If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either receive the PAT+HEALTH program or standard pregnancy care. If you receive the program, a community health educator will visit your home every two weeks for 40 sessions (about 60–90 minutes each) to teach you about healthy eating, exercise, and caring for your baby. All participants will have measurements, blood tests, and surveys done at the start, at birth, and then every 6 months for 2 years after your baby is born so researchers can track your weight, health, and your baby's development.
