Health Behaviors Among Individuals Diagnosed With Colorectal Cancer
RATIONALE: Gathering information over time from patients who have finished treatment for
colorectal cancer may help doctors predict which cancer survivors will improve their physical
activity and diet.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health behaviors in patients who have finished
treatment for stage I, stage II, or stage III colorectal cancer.
colorectal cancer may help doctors predict which cancer survivors will improve their physical
activity and diet.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying health behaviors in patients who have finished
treatment for stage I, stage II, or stage III colorectal cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To characterize patterns and identify predictors of post-treatment physical activity and
dietary changes made by colorectal cancer survivors.
Secondary
- To identify the affective and cognitive effects of post-treatment physical activity and
dietary changes in these patients.
- To identify these patients' preferences regarding diet and physical activity health
promotion programs.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients complete surveys at baseline and at 3 and 6 months. A randomly selected subset of 84
patients also receive an activity monitor to be use at each of the 3 time points. The
acceptability of their use is assessed and whether activity levels change across the 3 time
points and the extent to which they are convergent with self-reported physical activity are
examined.
During each survey, questionnaires are administered to assess the following areas:
physical/medical characteristics (self-reported), self-efficacy for physical activity, fruit
and vegetable consumption, and dietary fat intake; outcome expectations for physical
activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, and dietary fat intake; physical activity and diet
behavioral self-regulation; illness representations (causal attributions and controllability
of recurrence); perceived risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence; emotional
representations of CRC (cancer-related anxiety and worry about cancer recurrence); healthcare
provider recommendations to alter physical activity and dietary intake; social influence from
important others; current physical activity and dietary intake; and diet and physical
activity program preferences. Patients who received the activity monitor are asked feedback
on acceptability of them.
Measures of sociodemographics and disease/treatment characteristics (via medical chart
review) are recorded.
