Educational Resource Support

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control group of the study will receive a set of educational materials with information about their health and the health of their babies.

Interventions

Participants enrolled in the Star-Mama intervention group will receive 1. weekly automated phone calls with prevention-focused queries (e.g., diet, exercise, breastfeeding). 2. If a participant generates a value rated "out of range," a health coach who receives daily electronic downloads of STAR-Mama responses will call the participant to coach her about the specific health issue. Participants also hear recorded narratives related to their "out of range" reply encouraging behavior change. 3. Call-backs enable coaches to engage patients in goals setting/action plans and providing information about community resources
