Life style Intervention
"The intervention will include 4 face-to-face group sessions in the first 6 months, followed by remote support strategies and intensification counseling sessions when needed. Ongoing support and contact shown to be important in supporting behavior change will consist of reminders, and motivational messages for small actionable behaviors, delivered using mobile text or voice messages. Program intensification will be offered to women who fail to meet their weight goals by the 6 month time point. All phases of the program focus on self- management across 3 themes~1. simple healthy eating and moderate physical activity messages;~2. behavioral skills such as problem solving/goal setting/self-monitoring; and~3. enhancing internal motivation, self-efficacy and self-management. The program is deliberately not prescriptive, and has a focus on sustainable behaviors and local context."
