The current study presents the findings from the William & Mary Healthy Beginnings Program (W&M HBP), a nutrition-based education program for incarcerated pregnant women. Participants included 116 pregnant women who participated in the W&M HBP (53% identified as a person of color), and 51 incarcerated women (43% identified as a person of color) who recently gave birth but did not participate in W&M HBP. Results show higher birth weights among offspring born to W&M HBP than women in the comparison group. W&M HBP participants significantly increased their pregnancy- and nutrition-related knowledge, and knowledge gains significantly predicted longer gestational periods. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
