| Scientific title | A pilot randomised controlled trial to evaluate the impact of attending The Lifestyle Course (TLC) on the health of pregnant women with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30kg/m2 or more and their babies |
| Study acronym | TLC |
| Study objectives | This is a pilot study so there is no formal research hypothesis. Instead the suitability and acceptability of the study design is examined and a research hypothesis for the main trial will be generated. |
| Ethics approval(s) | NHS and University of Manchester approval pending as of 04/05/2011 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Maternal obesity |
| Intervention | The Lifestyle Course (TLC) is innovative as it is a multi-component intervention that addresses a complete healthy lifestyle for the whole family and combines theory-based behaviour change techniques (social cognitive theory) with a healthy eating, physical activity and well-being intervention. TLC is informed by the findings of a feasibility study (N=259) highlighting what intervention aspects were acceptable and suitable to pregnant women with a BMI of 30kg/m2 or more. TLC runs for two hours per week for 10-weeks and women must be between 12 and 28 weeks gestation. A multi-disciplinary team and a range of experts designed the intervention and tested it for use in a feasibility study with pregnant women with a BMI of 30kg/m2 or more in Greater Manchester. Control group - routine maternity care. The 36 women who are randomised to the control arm of the intervention will continue to receive standard maternity care within the NHS trust that they were recruited from (Royal Bolton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust). Their care will follow the individual hospitals maternity care guidelines and care pathways according to their antenatal booking BMI. TLC group - The women who are randomised to the intervention arm and are offered the opportunity to attend the 10-week TLC will receive the same maternity care within their NHS trust. Any contact made with the research team by control women will be noted, as will any non-research questions that they ask to the research midwives in the data collection sessions. |

| Primary outcome measure | The pilot study will inform the main randomised controlled trial by evaluating the suitability and feasibility of the study, design, including conformation of the most appropriate primary endpoint. This main objective is to inform the main trial by evaluating and providing information on the validity of the study design, will focus specifically on: 1.The suitability of the recruitment strategy 2.The suitability of the inclusion criteria 3.Womens understanding of the study and their reasons for participating or not participating 4.The success and suitability of the randomisation method 5.The required sample size for the main trial to ensure adequate power 6. Intervention group adherence to the 10week programme, reasons for attending or nonattending and views towards taking part in the study 7. Control group retention rates, views towards the taking part in the study and possible contamination 8. The acceptability and suitability of the data collection followup period length 9. The appropriateness of the primary and secondary outcomes for the study objectives and main trial¡¯s research question 10.The acceptability and suitability of the data collection methods used to collect outcome measures data |
