Title of Project: 32KH – Oncologists’ recommendation to promote healthy eating behaviors among cancer survivors
Project Description:
In this project, we will examine the impact of oncologists’ recommendation for healthy eating among cancer survivors by building on the existing infrastructure of the AMPLIFI Program (NCI-funded clinical trial). Specifically, we plan to incorporate an ancillary study arm onto the web-based AMPLIFI Diet/Project 1, which will recruit cancer survivors to an intervention to improve diet quality and weight status. An “Oncologists’ Supportive Message” will be developed for AMPLIFI participants to receive recommendation for their healthy eating behavior from oncologists. We will conduct a pilot study to assess feasibility and acceptability, as well as preliminary effectiveness of “Oncologists’ Supportive Message” among overweight or obese cancer survivors following poor quality diets and participating in AMPLIFI.
CaRES intern is needed to provide assistance during “Oncologists Supportive Message” intervention delivery and evaluation.
Project Status: Will begin on or before the CaRES student’s start date
Location of Project: Birmingham, AL (UAB)
Proposed Start Date: May 4, 2020
