Abstract: Background: Pregnancy and the postpartum period have been suggested as important contributors to overweightand obesity among women. This paper presents the design, rationale, and baseline participant characteristicsof a randomized controlled intervention trial to enhance weight loss in postpartum women who enteredpregnancy overweight or obese.Methods: Active Mothers Postpartum (AMP) is based on the rationale that the birth of a child can be a teachablemoment. AMP's primary objectives are to promote and sustain a reduction in body mass index (BMI) upto 2 years postpartum via changes in diet and exercise behavior, with a secondary aim to assess racial differencesin these outcomes. Women in the intervention arm participate in ten physical activity group sessions,eight healthy eating classes, and six telephone counseling sessions over a 9-month period. They also receivemotivational tools, including a workbook with recipes and exercises, a pedometer, and a sport stroller.Results: Four hundred fifty women aged [greater than/equal to]18 (mean 30.9), with a BMI [greater than/equal to] 25 kg/m2 (mean 33.0) at baseline (6 weeks postpartum) were enrolled; 45% of the final sample are black and 53% are white. Baseline characteristics by study arm and by race are presented.Conclusions: Our intervention is designed to be disseminated broadly to benefit the public health. Behaviorchange interventions based on principles of social cognitive theory, stage of readiness, and other models thatcoincide with a teachable moment, such as the birth of a child, could be important motivators for postpartumweight loss.
