Strong, Healthy Women

 

Dr. Feinberg and collaborator Dr. Danielle Downs, with a team of Penn State specialists in several risk areas, created a 6-session preventive program for women that aims to reduce preterm birth, low birth weight, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.  This intervention development project was funded by a grant from the Pennsylvania Dept of Health to create a Center of Excellence in this area, PI: Dr. Carol Weissman (Center website: CEPAWHS).  The intervention is being tested in a randomized trial of 1000 women in Central Pennsylvania.
