GoodMomS 2 Study
Overview
The Gestational Diabetes Management Study (GooDMomS) is a 6-month research program designed to help women who experienced gestational diabetes achieve a healthy weight after delivery and reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Using an adaptive study design, all participants first take part in the Lifestyle Intervention, consisting of weekly educational virtual sessions and resources to support participants achieve their individualized weight loss goals. Participants who meet their weight loss goals within 4–6 weeks continue with the Lifestyle Intervention. Participants who do not meet their goals are randomly assigned to either the Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention or the Metformin Intervention.
The Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention includes biweekly educational virtual sessions along with additional guidance on healthy meal planning and online grocery shopping while the Metformin Intervention entails prescription and intake of Metformin, a medication commonly used for weight loss and prevention of type 2 diabetes.

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.
