Cancer Survivor
Conditions
Brief summary
This early phase I trial studies how well a web-based lifestyle intervention called Precision Nutrition Coaching Program works in improving health in African American cancer survivors. Participating in the web-based lifestyle intervention program reinforced with experienced lifestyle coaches and consisting of physical activity, nutritional/lifestyle habits, and educational lessons may help to improve overall health and well-being, fitness level, and quality of life in African American cancer survivors.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To conduct a pilot implementation research study to determine the viability, safety, and effectiveness of the use of a 12-month, commercially available, web-based lifestyle behavioral medicine intervention program by individuals who are or have been a Witness Role Model (WRM) in the National Witness Project (NWP). SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To examine the feasibility of this research to subsequently investigate the effects of optimal health and/or lifestyle related behavioral medicine interventions used to promote optimal health on mitigating cancer-related and overall mortality disparities in African Americans (AA), and comorbidity/ chronic disease(s) management over time. (EXPLORATORY) OUTLINE: Participants complete the 12-month Precision Nutrition Coaching Program web-based lifestyle intervention consisting of physical activity at home or a local gym, nutritional/lifestyle habit with a new focus biweekly, and educational lessons about health, nutrition, fitness, or behavior change.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Program adherence rate | Up to 12 months | Measured by participation and online tracking of activity completion (workout, habit, and lessons). An overall adherence score will be calculated by averaging the percentage of time each of the 3 activities were completed by each participant over the 12-month intervention. |
| Rate of enrollment | Up to 12 months | — |
| Rate of refusal | Up to 12 months | — |
| Program effectiveness | Up to 12 months | The effects of the lifestyle intervention program will be ascertained via primarily subjective, self-reported assessments administered at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and a follow-up. Subjective data will be validated through the collection of objective data in a subset of local participants via in-person assessments. Generalized linear mixed model methods, specifically a repeated measures analysis of variance with a random participant effect, as well as fixed effects for time and interaction will be used. |
| Program retention | Up to 12 months | Will be measured by the proportion of participants who are still participating in the study at the end of the 12-month intervention. |
| Incidence of physical activity related injuries | Up to 12 months | Biweekly inquiries about possible injuries will be conducted. |
