About this study
The investigators will use implementation methods to develop better breastfeeding support for patients with gestational diabetes as a way to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Interventions
- Other: Implementation mapping to develop a multilevel health system strategy for prevention of type 2 diabetes through targeted breastfeeding support for patients with gestational diabetes — Conduct implementation mapping to develop a multilevel health system breastfeeding support strategy for patients with GDM at UC Davis Health in Sacramento, California, a large academic medical center. The study design for this mapping process will include five steps in this 1-year proposal: (1) conduct a needs and assets assessment and identify implementers; (2) identify implementation outcomes and determinants; (3) choose mechanisms of change and design implementation strategies; (4) produce implementation protocols and materials; and prepare for the final step, (5) evaluate implementation outcomes, by selecting outcome measures for a future trial . This disciplined and systematic approach to intervention development will directly inform my future directions: a mixed methods feasibility trial to pilot the implementation strategy developed here, followed by a full-scale randomized trial to test the strategy's effectiveness in reducing diabetes risk.
Primary outcomes
- Design novel implementation strategies for future mixed method trial (September 2026)
