The primary purpose of this study is to assess the responses of pregnant women and their
social network to six videos about health in pregnancy. Our goal is to assess a)
acceptability and b) understanding of core messages about healthy eating, exercise and
weight gain during pregnancy. We will also assess c) non-clinical sources of health
information during pregnancy.

Many women engage in suboptimal lifestyle behaviors during pregnancy. Many women do not
realize that unhealthy diet, exercise and weight gain behaviors can be dangerous for their
pregnancy and have harmful long-term consequences for their baby. There is great need for
strategies to promote accurate knowledge about healthy behaviors during pregnancy. The
purpose of this study is to assess responses to a brief (<1minute) video about healthy
behaviors during pregnancy. The study sample will include pregnant women and members of
their social network. Participants will be asked to watch a brief video and complete an
anonymous online survey measuring their response to the video, and their basic demographics.
The surveys will also assess how family and friends impact pregnant women's health
behaviors. Online surveys are entirely anonymous. We will recruit pregnant participants from
two sources: the University of Michigan Health System's prenatal clinics and a social media
website (Facebook).
