Brief summary
This study will investigate the efficacy of an eHealth nutrition intervention on lifestyle-related colorectal cancer risk in patients undergoing colonoscopy Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 18 and above, scheduled to have a colonoscopy done by participating surgeons at the Open Access Colonoscopy service at the Newcastle Endoscopy Clinic and the Direct Access Colonoscopy service at John Hunter Hospital and Belmont Hospital and have access to a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access. Study details Participants in this study are randomly allocated (by chance) to one of three groups. Participants in group one will receive an enhanced nutrition intervention consisting of a 30 minute online consultation via Zoom with a Dietitian, and a personal nutrition report. Participants in group two will receive, via email, a personal nutrition report. While participants in group three will not receive any intervention materials or education during the active intervention period. After completing the 3 month assessment, participants in group three will receive their personal nutrition report. Colorectal cancer risk will be assessed using the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)/American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) score. Feasibility and acceptability of the intervention will be assessed using a number of different surveys. It is hoped that this research project will provide new knowledge about the efficacy of an eHealth nutrition intervention at reducing lifestyle-related colorectal cancer risk in adults.
Interventions
This is a pilot 3-arm randomised controlled trial with the primary aim of investigating the efficacy of an enhanced eHealth nutrition intervention at reducing lifestyle-related colorectal cancer risk (as determined by the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)/American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) score) at 3 months, within patients undergoing colonoscopy. This will be compared with the efficacy of a standard eHealth nutrition intervention, and no intervention, at reducing lifestyle-rela
This is a pilot 3-arm randomised controlled trial with the primary aim of investigating the efficacy of an enhanced eHealth nutrition intervention at reducing lifestyle-related colorectal cancer risk (as determined by the 2018 World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF)/American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) score) at 3 months, within patients undergoing colonoscopy. This will be compared with the efficacy of a standard eHealth nutrition intervention, and no intervention, at reducing lifestyle-related colorectal cancer risk at 3 months, within patients undergoing colonoscopy. Enhanced intervention group: Enhanced group participants will receive one 30 minute online consultation via Zoom with an Accredited Practising Dietitian, and a personal nutrition report generated through completion of the online Australian Eating Survey (AES), at baseline. The one-on-one online consultation with the dietitian, using a standardised format and informed by results of the AES nutrition report, will provide participants with personalised dietary advice, strategies, and resources to improve dietary intake over 3 months, in line with the 2018 WCRF/AICR Recommendations for Cancer Prevention. The personal nutrition report will contain specific information and feedback about the participants' current dietary intake, including energy intake from core and non-core foods and drinks, macronutrient and micronutrient intake, and diet quality. The resources provided will include resources designed specifically for this study by a team of dietitians, as well as resources readily available from organisations such as the World Cancer Research Fund, Australian Government, Cancer Council, Cancer Institute NSW, and Nutrition Australia. Standard intervention group: Standard group participants will receive, via email, a personal nutrition report generated through completion of the AES at baseline with specific information and feedback about their current dietary intake. The standard group participants will be instructed to use the nutrition report to guide improved dietary intake over 3 months, for reduced risk of colorectal cancer. Control group: Participants randomised to the control group will not receive any intervention materials or education during the active intervention period. After completing the 3 month assessment, participants in the control group will receive the AES reports completed at baseline and 3 months.
