Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking pregnant women with public insurance or no insurance, planning to deliver at a Geisinger facility in one of seven targeted counties. They must be willing to consent and participate for up to 12 months. Women already enrolled in WIC as pregnant persons or those with private insurance cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests if online referrals by clinical teams increase enrollment in the WIC program. It involves four groups: usual care, direct referral to WIC, usual care plus dietitian advice on heart-healthy diets, and direct referral plus dietitian advice. Participants will complete surveys at the beginning and end of their six-month involvement.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves referrals and dietary advice rather than medical treatments, there are no typical side effects like you would expect from medication or surgery.
