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.

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.
