The programme comprises client centred techniques; motivational interviewing and goal setting delivered early in pregnancy (12-16 weeks) with the aim of supporting a healthy well balanced diet and either continuing or commencing appropriate levels of physical activity. Participants will then be followed up six weeks following the intervention with a one-to-one interview, and a further brief questionnaire. The interview will provide preliminary data regarding perceived effectiveness and acceptability of the 'Eat Well Keep Active' programme whilst the questionnaire will provide data regarding changes in the confidence of participants to lead a healthy lifestyle.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>BMC pregnancy and Childbirth</journal><volume>12</volume><journalNumber>27</journalNumber><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher/><placeOfPublication/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic/><keywords>Behaviour change, Motivational interviewing, Pregnancy, Diet, Activity, Goal setting</keywords><publishedDay>11</publishedDay><publishedMonth>4</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2012</publishedYear><publishedDate>2012-04-11</publishedDate><doi>10.1186/1471-2393-12-27</doi><url>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2393/12/27</url><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Psychology</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>HPS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2011-10-01T00:00:00.0000000</lastEdited><Created>2012-09-17T11:30:30.8489771</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">School of Health and Social Care - Public Health</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Warren,</firstname><surname>Lucie</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Jaynie</firstname><surname>Rance</surname><orcid>0000-0002-9504-0675</orcid><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Hunter,</firstname><surname>Billie</surname><order>3</order></author></authors><documents/><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
