Reaching High Risk Post-partum Women for Nutritional Assessment and Counseling Via a Telephone-based Coaching Program
The purpose of the STAR-MAMA intervention is to develop a patient-tailored telephone-base
counseling intervention for young Latino women who are at high risk of diabetes. The
intervention will focus at the end of pregnancy and the 9 months post-partum period to
improve education and behavioral counseling on nutrition and other related health topics .
The following hypotheses will be formally tested:
Compared with controls at 9 months post-partum:
1. Women in the STAR-Moms program will have improved self-reported behavioral outcomes for
minutes of physical activity, lower fat diet, and breast-feeding duration (in weeks);
2. Women in the STAR-Moms program will have improved diabetes prevention knowledge;
3. Women in the STAR-Moms program will have increased diabetes-relevant screening rates.
Women in the STAR-MAMA will have lost more weight than women in the control group.

The STAR-MAMA intervention builds on theoretical constructs found in Social Cognitive
Theory, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Theories of Social Support found to be effective in
weight loss, physical activity and dietary change, based on a recent meta-analysis and other
studies. The investigators proposed development of STAR-MAMA will incorporate specific
behavior change techniques associated with these theories, including: "self-regulatory"
intervention techniques (specific goal setting, prompting self-monitoring, providing
feedback on performance, goal review), self-efficacy building intervention techniques
(motivational interviewing, using decisional balance and relapse prevention), individual
tailoring techniques (information on content and resources), and culturally tailored social
support, and which incorporates family needs.
