About this study

Official title: Reducing Sedentary Behaviors Among Colorectal Cancer Survivors: Cancer Survivorship Center Pilot Project

Interview colorectal cancer survivors and use this input to create a brochure intended to guide reduction of sedentary behaviors in this population. Have colorectal cancer survivors review and comment on a draft of the brochure. A third group of colorectal cancer survivors will wear an Actigraph activity monitor for one week, then receive feedback on their activity level with the brochure. After one month this group will be surveyed by telephone regarding their use of the brochure, and their physical activity level.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Brochure regarding sedentary behaviorOther

    This pilot will occur in two phases. Phase 1 will occur in two steps. In Step 1, we will conduct one-on-one telephone interviews with 15 early stage CRC (colorectal cancer) survivors to obtain their knowledge and insights about sedentary behaviors and ways to reduce them. Their input will be used to help create a brochure on sedentary behaviors. In Step 2, we will conduct one-on-one telephone interviews with 5 early stage CRC survivors to provide feedback about the brochure. In Phase 2, we will recruit 15 CRC survivors. After completing a baseline survey, they will be asked to both wear an ActiGraph and self-report their daily sedentary behaviors for one week. They will receive tailored feedback as to their average weakly levels of sedentary behaviors and receive the brochure. One month post-intervention, they will be asked to take part in telephone survey assessing sedentary behaviors, PA (physical activity), and use of brochure.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1: Phase 1, Step 1No interventionIn this part, 15 early stage colorectal cancer survivors will fill out surveys and have a recorded phone interview regarding their physical activity and sedentary behaviors, to inform the creation of a brochure about sedentary behaviors.
Arm 2: Phase 1, Step 2No intervention5 early stage colorectal cancer survivors will have recorded telephone interviews to provide feedback about the brochure.
Arm 3: Phase 2Experimental15 early stage colorectal cancer survivors will complete a baseline survey about sedentary behaviors, then wear an Actigraph device and self-report their sedentary activities for one week. They will receive feedback regarding their activity, and one month after receiving the feedback will participate in a phone survey regarding use of the brochure, physical activity and sedentary behaviors.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility of the print brochure, as measured by Likert scale.

    Feasibility will be based in part on achieving higher (>5) on the Likert scale on topics such as usefulness, clarity, understanding how to use the materials.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Change in number of minutes per day of light to strenuous physical activity.

    The means and variances of self-reported total minutes per day of light to strenuous physical activity will be computed and compared from the survey at baseline, to the survey at the 1 month time point.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 month

  3. Change in number of minutes per day of bouts of sedentary behaviors.

    The means and variances of self-reported total minutes per day of sedentary behaviors, will be computed and compared from the survey at baseline, to the survey at the 1 month time point. Time per day will also be analyzed by type of activity.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Covariation between baseline use of an ActiGraph, and self-reporting of sedentary behaviors

    To assess the baseline reliability of self-report, we will calculate the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the self-report measure (total time and by each activity reported) and ActiGraph based on daily repeated measures for one week.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 week

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of the print brochure, as measured by Likert scale. (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2017.
