Gestational Diabetes Research
Project Title: 24-Hour Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Chinese American Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes
Introduction: This is a nursing research study to characterize the 24-hour activity and cardiometabolic risk profile for Chinese American women with a history of gestational diabetes [GD]. The purpose of this mixed method study is to describe the multi-contextual barriers and facilitators to meet current physical activity and sleep guidelines for the targeted population. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. Your cardiometabolic risk profile includes your blood sugar level, blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels, blood pressure, body fat percentage, and so on, together they influence your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
简介：本项护理研究项目旨在解析有妊娠糖尿病 [GD] 病史的在美华人女性 24 小时身体活动和心血管代谢健康风险的概况。 这项混合方法研究的目的是描述上述女性在尝试达到“身体活动与睡眠指南”的标准时所遇到 的障碍和促进因素。 妊娠糖尿病是指在妊娠期被首次诊断出的一种糖尿病。您的心脏代谢风险概 况包括您的血糖水平、血胆固醇或甘油三酯水平、血压、体脂率等等，所有的这些因素共同影响 着您罹患心脏病、中风和糖尿病的风险。

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What are the devices?
- The name of the activity monitor is ActiGraph GT9X+. It is a research-grade medical device, and it passed the safety standard in the US.
2. How do the devices work?
- ActiGraph uses an accelerometer to detect the speed of movement of our body in 3D directions. It is similar to Fitbit, the fitness watch, but it is even more accurate.
3. How should I wear the devices?
- Please wear one device to the right side of your waist (as shown in the picture) and the other to your non-dominant hand's wrist.
4. What is cardiometabolic health?
- Cardiometabolic health refers to your heart, blood, blood vessels, and metabolic health. The lab results that we are measuring are markers of the health of your cardiovascular and metabolic system.
5. What happens during the in-person visit at the Clinical Research Center?
- At the Clinical Research Center, the nurse will assess your vital signs, height, and weight. Your waist and body fat percentage will also be measured. In addition, a blood sample of one tablespoon (15ml) will be collected to analyze your blood glucose profile, including hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose, and fasting insulin. The lipid panel will also be evaluated, including total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.
6. How is the in-depth interview conducted?
- The In-depth Interview can take place either in person or via Zoom, based on your preference. It's important to note that not every participant will undergo an interview. Incentives for this study component will only be provided to participants who have successfully completed the interview.
FAQ （常见问题）
1. 佩戴的仪器是什么？
- 我们给您邮寄的是活动监测仪，英文名字叫ActiGraph GT9X+。它是研究专用医用设备，且通过了美国FCC安全认证。
2. 这个仪器怎么运作？
- 活动监测仪的原理是用三维的加速器感应身体的各个方向的加速度。它类似运动手环fitbit，但是监测更准确。

- 请您像图片（见下方）中的一样将一个仪器戴到腰的右侧，另外一个仪器戴到您的非常用手的手腕上。
4. 什么是心血管健康？
- 心脏代谢健康是指您的心脏、血液、血管和代谢健康。 我们体检时测量的数据标志了您心血管系统和代谢系统的健康状况。
5. 去纽约大学临床研究中心时都会发生什么？是什么流程？
- 当您到了临床研究中心以后，那里的护士将会测量您的生命体征、身高和体重，同时还会测量您的腰围和身体脂肪百分比。 此外，护士还将收集一汤匙（15 毫升）的血液样本来分析您的血糖状况，包括糖化血红蛋白、空腹血糖和空腹胰岛素，还有脂质组，包括总胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇和甘油三酯。
6. 深度访谈是怎么做的？
- 深度访谈可以面对面进行，也可以通过线上的方式进行，根据您的喜好来。需要注意的是，并非每个参与者都会接受我们的深度访谈，只有成功完成访谈的参与者才会收到这一部分的研究报酬。
