Personalized Health Self-Management Training for Colorectal Cancer Survivors

{ "Personalized Health Self-Management Training for Colorectal Cancer Survivors", "This study is testing two types of self-management training programs for people who have had colorectal or other gastrointestinal (GI) cancer. One program, called RISE Personalized Self-Management Training (PSMT), helps you replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones by setting specific, measurable goals. The other, Standardized Self-Management Training (SSMT), provides general health information. The study wants to see if PSMT is better at helping people follow healthy lifestyle recommendations. You can join if you are at least 18 years old, have a history of GI cancer, can read and write English, and are interested in improving your lifestyle. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 120 participants.", "design": "This is a Phase 2 study that will randomly assign 120 participants to receive either personalized or standardized self-management training. It is a controlled study, meaning one group receives the new approach while the other receives a standard approach.", "commitments": "You would participate in a 6-week self-management training program led by occupational therapists. The primary outcome will be measured at 12 weeks.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "The main outcome of the study will be measured at 12 weeks after the training begins.", }

  • To compare the difference in WCRF/AICR score between the intervention (RISE-PSMT) and control (SSMT) groups.12 weeks.

    Outcome measures contributing to each component of WCRF/AICR Healthy Behavior Adherence scale will be collected from baseline and end-of-study visits (Session 6 and Follow-up). The WCRF/AICR scale comprises of 7 categories with each category given a score for non-/low adherence, moderate/some adherence, or full adherence to each HBR. Total value ranges from 0 to 7 points, with a higher score indicating better adherence. HBR items include body composition, physical activity, diet, and alcohol use.
