Pilot Feasibility Study of a Dyadic Culinary Nutrition Intervention

{ "Pilot Study: Cooking Healthy - Engaging Families (CHEF) for Prostate Cancer Survivors and Caregivers", "This study is testing a 12-week remote program called \"Cooking Healthy - Engaging Families (CHEF)\" for Hispanic prostate cancer survivors and their caregivers. The program includes nutrition education, cooking classes, and health coaching, and is available in English and Spanish. Some participants will receive written nutrition education instead. The study wants to see if the CHEF program is practical and well-received. We are looking for 40 participants (20 pairs of survivors and their caregivers). To join, you must be a Hispanic man, aged 18-90, who has completed primary treatment for prostate cancer at least 6 weeks ago. Your caregiver must live with you. This study is a pilot, meaning it's an early step to see if the program works well before a larger study.", "design": "This is a randomized controlled pilot study involving 40 participants (20 survivor-caregiver pairs). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the CHEF program or a group receiving written nutrition education.", "commitments": "Participants will take part in a 12-week remote program that includes 24 hours of intervention. The study will measure feasibility and acceptability for up to 12 weeks, and retention for up to 24 weeks.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Participants will be followed for retention for up to 24 weeks after enrollment.", }

  • Feasibility measured by enrollment rateUp to 12 weeks

    Will be determined as the enrollment rate- the number of dyads enrolled out of those approached and eligible using descriptive statistics.

  • Appropriateness measured by retention rateUp to 24 weeks

    Will be determined as the retention rate- calculated as the number of dyads (survivor-caregiver pairs) completing the study versus dyads consented using descriptive statistics.

  • Acceptability measured by adherence rateUp to 12 weeks

    Acceptability will be measured by adherence rate to the intervention calculated as the total number of classes attended divided by the total possible schedule the patient could attend using descriptive statistics.

  • Composite measure of implementation success12 weeks

    Implementation success will be measured by a single composite questionnaire that will determine the extent to which the intervention is considered feasible, appropriate, and acceptable. Responses are summary scored with a possible range of 4-20; higher scores indicate greater feasibility, appropriateness, and acceptability.
