Gestational diabetes & diabetes in pregnancy
Beyond the individual: Socio‐ecological factors impacting activity after gestational diabetes mellitus
Authors' conclusion
Many of the amenable barriers and facilitators to physical activity were beyond the intrapersonal level, based on higher levels of the socio-ecological model (social, organisational and community). Multi-level interventions are needed to effectively address all barriers.
