Current Studies
Previous Studies
GooDMomS
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects 7-10% of pregnancies. GooDMomS is a digital health pregnancy and postpartum lifestyle
intervention for women with recent GDM to promote glucose control during pregnancy and weight loss
after delivery.
Our goal is to use digital health technology to advance perinatal health, promote the
health of the mother-child dyad, and test the acceptability of an intervention that can be integrated
alongside routine clinical obstetrical care.
COMPARE-UF
Sponsor: PCORI/AHRQ
The objective of this project was to enable women with uterine fibroids, particularly minority and low-income women and childbearing age women, to make informed decisions about management options based on the highest possible quality evidence.
To help achieve this objective, we assembled 8 US centers to form a registry of a geographically, racially, ethnically, and clinically diverse group of women with uterine fibroids.
DiabetesSisters Voices
This study aimed to develop and rigorously evaluate an online platform—the DiabetesSisters Network—to engage women with current or gestational diabetes. The goal was to create a virtual patient community that empowers participants to identify and prioritize topics for patient-centered and comparative effectiveness research.
