Item Using the COM-B model and behaviour change wheel to develop a theory and evidence-based intervention for women with gestational diabetes (IINDIAGO)(BMC Public Health, 2023) Zarowsky, Christina; Murphy, Katherine; Berk, Jamie; Muhwava-Mbabala, LorreinBackground: In South Africa, the prevalence of gestational diabetes (GDM) is growing, concomitant with the dramatically increasing prevalence of overweight/obesity among women. There is an urgent need to develop tailored interventions to support women with GDM to mitigate pregnancy risks and to prevent progression to type 2 diabetes post-partum. The IINDIAGO study aims to develop and evaluate an intervention for disadvantaged GDM women attending three large, public-sector hospitals for antenatal care in Cape Town and Soweto, SA. This paper offers a detailed description of the development of a theory-based behaviour change intervention, prior to its preliminary testing for feasibility and efficacy in the health system.
