Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The intervention consists of six related components:
i. Synchronous coaching sessions conducted on a 1:1 basis between the mHealth coach and
participants. There will be 2 synchronous sessions, the first at enrolment and the second between 4-8 weeks post-natal. These sessions typically last 45-50 minutes in length with a follow-up summary video message of the goals discussed and, at the beginning of the mother’s journey, the establishing of a change agreement. This is mediated through the live-video feature in the Bump2Baby & Me mHealth coaching app. If the woman is diagnosed with GDM, there will be opportunity for a third 15-minute synchronous coaching session to review and adjust any lifestyle goals to align with the individual’s diabetes management plan
ii. Asynchronous mHealth coaching that uses a combination of text and video messaging exchanges between the mHealth coach and participant. The pregnancy interactions will be once a week the first 4 weeks. The mHealth coaching then becomes bi-weekly for two months and then monthly until birth. The postpartum interactions will be after the synchronous coaching session. These will happen bi-weekly for one month, to support the woman to ease back into mHealth coaching contact after the birth. After that it will be weekly for a month, then biweekly for a month prior to monthly check-ins with the mHealth coach. However, this will be arranged with the woman during the postpartum synchronous coaching session and will be adapted accordingly. From 6-12 months postpartum, asynchronous coaching will happen monthly.
iii. Automated push notifications are sent out to participants. These will include messages prompting the individual to follow through on the goals they have set for themselves, reminders to register goal achievements and motivational messages when they have accomplished their goals. Whilst these are standardized messages, they will be tailored to the individual’s goals, child feeding practice and preferences.
iv. Participants will receive personalised educational content from their mHealth coach during the asynchronous coaching sessions. This content will cover topics within breastfeeding, healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellbeing, and best practice formula feeding. The materials contained within the educational content is specifically designed for this intervention. Each mHealth coach will continuously assess what content is relevant before sending to the women.
v. Participants will receive automated push notifications referring to additional content available in the Bump2Baby & Me app. The content push notifications will be active once a week during the weeks that no asynchronous mHealth coaching occurs. These push notifications will connect participants with specially designed online resources providing recipes, information, tips for food and activity choices, breastfeeding resources and links to relevant support agencies.
vi. Participants will also have access to a virtual social network, through the mHealth coaching app, with other women participating in the study. This will enable social engagement and support, as well as the capacity to connect physically for shared activities, self-organised in each study site. Participants will be encouraged to engage with this network but engagement will be at the participant's discretion.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Allocation will be recorded in sequentially numbered and sealed, opaque envelopes, which will be distributed to the four study sites by the trial Biostatistician.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomisation will be generated centrally by the trial biostatistician using a computer-generated random sequence. For each participant, the researcher at each site will select the next sequential envelope and open it in front of an independent witness.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
The intervention arm will be tested against usual care. Intention to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) analyses will be planned for both primary and secondary outcomes. The statistical analysis will consist of a between-group repeated measures analysis, using a marginal model to allow for a given correlation structure of BMI across measurement time-points. An unstructured variance-covariance matrix, over time, will be estimated, in the absence of strong a priori knowledge of the correlations from time-point to time-point. The loss of degrees of freedom in the estimation of each variance and covariance parameter separately is preferable to a misspecification of the structure. The trial result will be decided by a contrast of the change over time, between arms. Covariates included in this model will be kept to a minimum – site is the only covariate expected. The baseline BMI measurement will be included in the dependent variable as the first time-point and thus inherently controlled for. The impact of loss to follow-up will be minimised by using a marginal model, which is not subject to list-wise deletion: each participant will contribute all time-specific measurements made to the model.
