Rewarding Healthy Behaviors in Pregnancy and Postpartum

Using data from Mt. Sinai's electronic medical record appointment tracking system, the investigators will determine whether participants who received the Aqueduct system intervention demonstrate increased attendance at scheduled prenatal visits compared with baseline data in the clinic about attendance rates.

Using descriptive statistics from recruitment, the investigators will determine whether the percentage (%) of eligible individuals from the population of pregnant women in their third trimester receiving prenatal care at the Mt. Sinai E-Level OB Clinic who elected to participate in the study increases between Wave 1 and Wave 2 of recruitment based upon changes in recruitment language.

Using self-reported frequency of eating fruits, vegetables, and fried foods (measured as average number of days per week over the past month), the investigators will determine whether participants who received the Aqueduct system intervention demonstrate increased frequency in consumption of fruits and vegetables, as well as decreased fried food consumption, from baseline (start of third trimester) to follow-up (postpartum appointment ~6 weeks after giving birth).

Using self-reported number of minutes of moderate intensity physical activity (measured as average minutes per week over the past month), the investigators will determine whether participants who received the Aqueduct system intervention demonstrate increased minutes of physical activity from baseline (start of third trimester) to follow-up (postpartum appointment ~6 weeks after giving birth).

Using the General Self-Efficacy questionnaire, the investigators will determine whether participants who received the Aqueduct system intervention demonstrate increased self-efficacy from baseline (start of third trimester) to follow-up (postpartum appointment ~6 weeks after giving birth). Respondents use a 5-point rating scale (1= strongly disagree; 3 = neither agree nor disagree; 5 = strongly agree). Total scores range from 8 - 40, with higher total scores indicating better/stronger self-efficacy. Instrument citation: Chen, G., Gully, S. M., & Eden, D. (2001).
