Empower Black Maternal health!

Participate in our Gestational Diabetes research study from the University of Illinois Chicago. We're inviting Black pregnant women to be part of our groundbreaking study on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) and make a significant impact on maternal well-being.

📚🔬 Our mission: GDM disproportionately affects Black women, posing unique challenges. We aim to develop a specialized DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) dietary intervention, catered specifically for Black women at high-risk for GDM. By conducting formative research, including surveys, focus groups, and Community Advisory Boards (CABs), we're determined to create effective solutions and improve maternal health outcomes.

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!
