What this trial studies

This randomized trial evaluates whether the PRIMI app, designed for migrant women, can improve diet quality and physical activity within six months after delivery. Participants are first-generation migrants within six months postpartum, randomized to use the app or be on a wait-list control for six months. Secondary outcomes include health literacy, body mass index, self-efficacy, and self-rated health. The study uses a culturally tailored, mobile health approach to support postpartum health behaviors. Conducted at Linköping University, it aims to provide accessible postnatal health support in multiple languages.
