A Gestational Diabetes Risk Reduction and Preconception Counseling Program for American Indian and Alaska Native Girls – Stopping GDM

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 | 3-4 p.m. ET







[link removed]








American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) women are disproportionally affected by adolescent obesity, adolescent pregnancy, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). GDM in turn increases the risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in mothers and their offspring. There is a great need for early preconception counseling and GDM risk reduction interventions prior to pregnancy to reduce incidence of GDM in AI/AN girls and young women.


The Stopping GDM interdisciplinary program is a theory and evidence-based education and preconception counseling intervention developed specifically for AI/AN girls and their adult female caregivers. Please join as we hear from the co-principal investigators of the Stopping GDM program as they share background, preliminary findings from a multi-site randomized controlled trial, and discuss ways you can participate in disseminating Stopping GDM to the priority audience.


This is part of the Native American Nursing Learning Collaborative, a series of webinars open to all: co-hosted by the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action,
