Three Face-it Studies at DPSG 2025
This year at the DPSG conference, we look forward to presenting three studies based on data from Face-it. The studies highlight (i) the effect of the Face-it intervention on behavioral mechanisms among the participating partners, (ii) the relationship between sleep and physical activity, and (iii) the relationship between stigma and four health domains: physical, social, mental, and health behavior. We look forward to good scientific discussions on gestational diabetes, and the time thereafter.

About Face-it

Face-it is a research project targeted at families where the mother has had gestational diabetes. In collaboration with municipalities and hospitals across Denmark, we investigate whether a tailored postpartum intervention can improve quality of life and health for the whole family and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

 

Here, you can find relevant information about the project - both if you are a participant and if you are a health care professional.
