Welcome to DASH for Us! 📚🔬 We're committed to shedding light on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and its significant impact on Black pregnant women. GDM poses unique challenges for expecting Black mothers, and we're determined to make a difference in their maternal health outcomes.
The goal of our study is to develop a specialized DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) dietary intervention, specifically tailored for Black women at high-risk for GDM. GDM disproportionately affects Black women, making them 1.6 times more likely to endure hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, a leading cause of Black maternal mortality. Additionally, they face 2-3 times higher risks of future cardiometabolic diseases due to GDM.
Our research involves formative methods, including surveys, focus groups, and Community Advisory Boards (CABs), which will guide us in creating a culturally relevant and effective
intervention.
By working together and understanding the unique challenges Black pregnant women face, we can pave the way for a healthier and more equitable future for all! Join us on this transformative journey. Join our study today at https://redcap.link/kopcb8ba!
