Application Deadline: 12/7/2007
The goal of this program is to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate novel approaches that concurrently address the relationship between women's healthy eating and mental health during the perinatal period. For the purposes of this grant the perinatal period is defined as during pregnancy and up to one year after delivery, including women who may not have had a positive birth outcome. The interventions must be implemented throughout the entire intervention periods, must be substantive in nature, incorporate nutrition, physical activity and mental health and wellness components, while also positively impacting knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. The mental health component can include addressing depression including post-partum, eating disorders including binge eating, stress/stress reduction to name a few. These approaches should target women in communities who have limited access to preventive health services, and when appropriate linked to other relevant services to comprehensively address their health needs. Proposals must include women who are members of populations who are disproportionately affected by overweight/obesity in your locale, including racial ethnic minorities.
