    The document summarizes three randomized controlled trials that tested weight management interventions for pregnant or postpartum women. The interventions addressed diet and exercise modifications and included counseling sessions combined with written and food diaries. Two studies found significantly better weight outcomes in the intervention groups compared to controls, while the third found an interaction between weight category and intervention group. However, refusal and attrition rates were high in all studies.

    Abstract
    BACKGROUND:
    A review of randomized controlled trials of weight-management interventions for pregnant or postpartum
    women was conducted to assess whether effective weight-management interventions exist for this population.
    METHODS:
    The MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, and CINAHL databases were searched, as well
    as the reference lists of relevant publications. English-language articles published between January 1985 and
    August 2007 that used a randomized controlled trial study design and incorporated a weight-related outcome
    measure were reviewed. All potentially relevant articles were reviewed separately, and final selections were
    based on consensus reached through discussion.
    RESULTS:
    Three studies met the inclusion criteria, one conducted among pregnant women and two among postpartum
    women. The interventions addressed modifications in diet and exercise and included individual or groupcounseling sessions combined with written and telephone correspondence or food and exercise diaries. In two
    studies, the weight-related outcome was significantly better in the intervention group than in the control group.
    The third study found a significant interaction between weight category and intervention group. In all studies,
    the refusal or attrition rates were high.
    CONCLUSIONS:
    While these studies indicate that interventions can help pregnant and postpartum women manage their weight,
    many questions remain unanswered. Several research gaps for weight-management interventions in this
    important population have been identified.
