Mobile Health App to Reduce Diabetes in Latina Women
Mobile Health App to Reduce Diabetes in Latina Women
The proposed project sought to develop a culturally- and individually-tailored,
 plain-language Spanish/English mobile phone intervention for Latinas with prior gestational
 diabetes (GDM). The intervention is based on earlier in-person to online modification of the
 CDC-funded Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), for women with prior GDM led by co-investigator
 Dr. Ellen Seely of Brigham and Women's Hospital.
The specific aims of the study were as follows:

 Primary Aim 1: Develop a culturally-tailored mobile phone intervention for Latinas with prior
 GDM based on Brigham & Women's Hospital online DPP.

 Primary Aim 2: Conduct a pilot trial of the intervention.

 Primary Aim 3:Evaluate implementation feasibility.
