About this study

Official title: Efficacy of an Educational Food Safety Intervention for Cancer Patients Receiving Treatment

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a food safety educational training program on food safety knowledge and behaviors in cancer patients receiving treatment. Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, can put patients at risk for foodborne infections and despite this risk, it has been reported that patients do not receive any food safety counseling until they are already experiencing low white blood cell counts. A food safety educational training program may help cancer patients make better choices of low-risk foods and prepare foods safely.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Evaluate the efficacy of a food safety education intervention for cancer patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients attend a food safety educational training program over 50 minutes on study.

After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 5 weeks.

Being tested
Educational Intervention, Questionnaire Administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in food safety knowledge

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  2. Changes in attitudes

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  3. Changes in risk perception

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  4. Changes in self-efficacy

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  5. Changes in behaviors

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  6. Changes in food acquisition practices

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

  7. Changes in high-risk food consumption

    Pre and post responses will be determined using score calculation and compared using ANOVA.

    Measured: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational Intervention and Questionnaire Administration in people with Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm and Malignant Solid Neoplasm, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Changes in food safety knowledge (time frame: From baseline up to 5 weeks post intervention). The study lists 7 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 15 May 2025.
