This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing whether giving pregnant women extra money specifically for buying healthy foods can help prevent them from gaining too much weight during pregnancy. All participants will receive standard nutritional counseling and help signing up for government food assistance programs. Half the participants will also receive an additional $1,000 to $3,000 (depending on household size) to spend on healthy foods during their pregnancy.
Excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases the risk of complications like high blood pressure and gestational diabetes. This study wants to see if removing financial barriers to buying healthy food can help more pregnant women maintain a healthier weight and have safer pregnancies.
