Abstract
Objective: To solicit feedback from pregnant individuals with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on a proposed lifestyle intervention.
Methods: We interviewed pregnant adults (n = 9) diagnosed with GDM ≥ 4 weeks at 2 obstetric clinics in the Hartford, CT, area. Participants provided feedback on a proposed intervention that included medically tailored meals, multimedia educational materials, and personalized support for physical activity. We conducted a practical thematic analysis of interview data.
Results: Participants' feedback can be described using 4 themes. First, the intervention will reduce the cognitive and emotional burden associated with managing GDM. Second, participants wanted the ability to tailor the intervention to their circumstances and preferences. Third, the intervention website should offer ready access to information and resources. Finally, participants expressed a desire for relatable content from other people with GDM to normalize their experiences and foster learning.
Conclusions and implications: Researchers developing lifestyle interventions for persons with GDM should consider participants' social context, including family food systems and available resources.

The purpose of JNEB is to document and disseminate original research and emerging issues and practices relevant to these areas worldwide. The Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior welcomes evidence-based manuscripts that provide new insights and useful findings related to nutrition education research, practice and policy. The content areas of JNEB reflect the diverse interests in nutrition and physical activity related to public health, nutritional sciences, education, behavioral economics, family and consumer sciences, and eHealth, including the interests of community-based nutrition-practitioners. As the Society''s official journal, JNEB also includes policy statements, issue perspectives, position papers, and member communications.
