The analyses compared completion rates between the standard prevention programme Life! with one specifically adapted for women with prior gestational diabetes (Life! GDM) using the PROGRESS equity framework. Methods: Women with a history of GDM in the Life! GDM or the mainstream Life! programme in 2022\u20132025 were included. Multinomial logistic regression was used to impute categorical variables, logistic regression for binary variables, and linear regression for continuous variables. Estimates were combined across imputed datasets using Rubin\u2019s rules. Results: A total of 2261 women were included: 370 in Life! GDM, and 1891 in Life! from 2022 to 2025, with completion rates of 36.7% and 52.2%, respectively. Compared with women in Life!, women in Life! GDM were more likely to come from non-English-speaking backgrounds, particularly South and Central Asian (30.5% vs. 17.0%) and South-East Asian backgrounds (13.0% vs. 4.3%). After multiple imputation, multivariable logistic regression showed that none of the examined participant characteristics were significantly associated with programme completion in Life! GDM. In the Life! cohort, completion was significantly associated with marital status, with single participants having lower odds of completion (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.41\u20130.85), and with referral channel, with self-referral associated with higher odds of completion (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.39\u20132.12). Conclusions: The adapted programme appeared to have reached more culturally and linguistically diverse women; however, lower completion among those experiencing disadvantage highlights the need for enhanced support and retention strategies to ensure equitable postpartum diabetes prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18030489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]],"date-time":"2026-02-02T15:38:12Z","timestamp":1770046692000},"page":"489","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Equity Audit of a Statewide Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction Pilot Programme for Women with a History of Gestational Diabetes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8973-717X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuqi","family":"Dou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Systems and Equity, Eastern Health Clinical School, Monash University, Box Hill, Melbourne, VIC 3128, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3616-1637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline A.","family":"Boyle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Systems and Equity, Eastern Health Clinical School, Monash University, Box Hill, Melbourne, VIC 3128, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenna","family":"Van Der Velden","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Kwon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carli","family":"Leishman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9139-4663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Holmes-Truscott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology and Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia"},{"name":"The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes, Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1999-2498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kimberley L.","family":"Way","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia"},{"name":"Exercise Physiology and Cardiovascular Health Lab, Division of Cardiac Prevention and Rehabilitation, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa, ON K1Y 4W7, Canada"},{"name":"Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, VIC 3004, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0018-6963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Timothy","family":"Skinner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology and Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin University, Geelong, VIC 3220, Australia"},{"name":"The Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes, Diabetes Victoria, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Craig","family":"Pickett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Epidemiology and Statistics, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, University of Melbourne, Carlton, Melbourne, VIC 3053, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bei","family":"Bei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5333-6451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siew","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Systems and Equity, Eastern Health Clinical School, Monash University, Box Hill, Melbourne, VIC 3128, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"793","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-8587(20)30161-3","article-title":"Gestational diabetes: Opportunities for improving maternal and child health","volume":"8","author":"Saravanan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Diabetes Association Professional Practice Committee for Diabetes (2026). 2.
