Details and patient eligibility

About

We are conducting a prospective randomized trial involving 50 pregnant teenagers and their infants at a single institution. We will seek a partial HIPAA waiver to prescreen potential participants via EPIC. we will obtain study consent for 18 and 19 years old, parental permission for 13 -17 years old and assent for 17 and below. Randomization will occur via the research randomizer (http://randomizer.org/) which is a free site designed to help researchers quickly generate random numbers or assign participants to different experimental groups. All participant ID's will be pre-randomized and participants will be informed of their randomization group following study assent and/or consent.

We will test the hypothesis that there is a positive correlation between increased health literacy, gestational weight gain, and adequate infant birth weight.
