Kaiser Permanente Researcher Profiles


Assiamira Ferrara, MD, PhD is a Senior Research Scientist at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research. Dr. Ferrara is internationally recognized for her expertise in gestational diabetes (GDM) and obesity during pregnancy, and her research interests focus on preventing the adverse effects of these conditions on women's and children's health. 

Her primary focus has been the epidemiology of and translational research related to diabetes and GDM. Dr. Ferrara and colleagues have adapted the National Diabetes Prevention Program to be delivered by telehealth in women with GDM as well as pregnant women with overweight or obesity during the prenatal and postpartum periods to achieve weight management and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Dr. Ferrara also conducts cohort studies of pregnant women and their offspring to identify early risk factors for diabetes and obesity. She is the contact principal investigator at Kaiser Permanente of the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) program, a National Institutes of Health initiative. Dr. Ferrara’s life course approach to diabetes and obesity prevention is aimed in reducing the risk factors for these chronic conditions early in life. In recognition of her research on these topics, Dr. Ferrara was presented the 2019 American Diabetes Association's Norbert Freinkel Lecture.

She has also led the establishment and maintenance of the KPNC Gestational Diabetes and Pregnancy Glucose Tolerance Registry since its inception in 1997. Dr. Ferrara collaborated with researchers across the nation to further the understanding of sex disparities in the quality of health care for people with diabetes in an attempt to explain the higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in women with diabetes relative to men. She has also worked to determine the safety of diabetes medications in regards to cancer risks.

    Understanding facilitators and barriers to achieving glycemic control among a diverse population with gestational diabetes

    The SUNRISE project capitalizes on our previous qualitative research that demonstrated our ability to identify facilitators and barriers that contribute to health engagement among patients with gestational diabetes. The proposed supplement widens the potential impact of the parent project beyond the postpartum period. Information gained about gestational diabetes engagement during pregnancy will shed important light on the lived experiences of diverse populations most affected by both suboptimal glycemic control and suboptimal postpartum screening for overt diabetes.

    Motivational Determinants of Postpartum Lifestyle Behaviors, Weight Retention, and Metabolic Syndrome

    The proposed study aims to identify affective influences on key lifestyle behaviors (healthy eating and objectively measured self-weighing and physical activity) associated with postpartum weight retention and cardiometabolic profile (e.g., metabolic syndrome). We propose a longitudinal study design within a theory-driven framework that leverages PETALS, an existing population-based cohort. The ultimate objectives of this research are to identify novel, modifiable targets for interventions to improve postpartum weight trajectory and cardiometabolic outcomes among diverse women at risk for cardiovascular health disparities.

    Optimizing a Scalable Intervention to Maximize Guideline-Recommended Diabetes Testing after GDM

    We will leverage the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) to efficiently identify, in a single experiment, which of four components of an outreach intervention motivate women with gestational diabetes to complete a recommended oral glucose tolerance test by 12 weeks and join a health system- or community-based lifestyle program for diabetes prevention.

    Early Life Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Child Growth, Adiposity, and Neurodevelopment

    This study is evaluating whether in-utero exposures to maternal PFCs and PBDEs, individually and/or in combination, are associated with infant growth, adiposity, and neurodevelopment; metabolic determinants of obesity; and neurodevelopment and infant patterns of DNA methylation. The study also aims to identify infant, maternal, and paternal factors that modify the association of exposure to in-utero PFCs and PBDEs exposures with infant growth, adiposity, and neurodevelopment.

    Comparative Effectiveness of Diabetes Prevention Strategies in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

    It is a cluster randomized lifestyle intervention trial that assesses the effect of an organizational-level intervention on weight management in GDM patients. Randomization will occur at the medical center level; 44 medical centers of Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KP) will participate and data will be collected for more than 2,400 pregnant women with GDM. The intervention will be compared to usual care.

    Early Life Exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Child Growth, Adiposity, and Neurodevelopment

    We hypothesize that in-utero exposures to commonly used endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as PFCs and PBDEs, individually and/or in combination, have adverse effects on child obesity and neurodevelopment through possible common pathways. Our aims are: Aim 1. To evaluate whether in-utero exposures to maternal PFCs and PBDEs, individually and/or in combination, are associated with infant growth, adiposity and neurodevelopment. Aim 2. To evaluate whether in-utero PFCs and PBDEs exposures are associated with metabolic determinants of obesity and neurodevelopment . Aim 3. To explore whether in-utero PFCs and PBDEs exposures are associated with infant patterns of DNA methylation. Aim 4. To identify infant, maternal and paternal factors that modify the association of exposure to in-utero PFCs and PBDEs exposures and with infant growth, adiposity and neurodevelopment.

    Translational Diabetes Prevention in GDM

    This is a lifestyle intervention project tailored to pregnant and postpartum women with gestational diabetes (GDM) and designed to reduce risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The intervention will start during pregnancy soon after GDM diagnosis and will continue postpartum. It will be delivered by individual telephone counseling contacts and brief in-person counseling sessions. Patients will be randomly assigned to a lifestyle intervention or usual medical care. Among GDM patients we propose to implement and evaluate an intervention of diet and physical activity tailored to be practical in health plan settings and for postpartum mothers, with the primary goals of: a) reaching pre-pregnancy weight if women had normal pre-pregnancy weight; or b) reaching a 5% reduction from pre-pregnancy weight if overweight or obese prior to pregnancy.
