About this study
Official title: A Community Health Worker-delivered, Cancer Family History-based Program to Promote Cancer Prevention in Chinese Americans
This study evaluated a culturally and linguistically tailored cancer prevention program delivered by trained Chinese American community health workers to Chinese American adults in Texas. The program focused on breast, colorectal, gastric, liver, and lung cancers and used family health history to provide personalized education and navigation. The study examined whether the program could improve participants' cancer-related knowledge, family health history communication, preventive behaviors, cancer screening, and use of genetic services. The investigators hypothesized that participants would show improvements in these outcomes after receiving the program compared with before the program.

Family Health History-Based Cancer Prevention and Navigation ProgramBehavioural
Trained Chinese American community health workers delivered a culturally and linguistically tailored, family health history-based cancer prevention and navigation program to Chinese American adults in Texas. Participants received individualized education about breast, colorectal, gastric, liver, and lung cancer; guidance on how to collect and understand their cancer family health history; and personalized recommendations based on their reported cancer risks and health behaviors. When appropriate, participants were encouraged to discuss their risk with healthcare providers, complete recommended cancer screening, and seek genetic counseling or other genetic services.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from Baseline in Cancer Family Health History Communication Behaviors at 3 Months
Participants reported how often they learned about and discussed their cancer family health history with family members and healthcare providers. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher scores indicate more frequent family health history communication.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Completion of Recommended Cancer Screening at 3 Months
Average-risk participants reported whether they had completed recommended cancer screenings. Screening completion was coded as yes or no based on whether the participant met the applicable screening recommendation.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cigarette Smoking at 3 Months
Participants who reported smoking indicated the average number of cigarettes smoked per day. Lower values indicate lower tobacco consumption.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Moderate Aerobic Exercise at 3 Months
Participants reported the average number of minutes of moderate aerobic exercise performed per week. Higher values indicate more physical activity.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Alcohol Consumption at 3 Months
Participants reported the average number of alcoholic drinks consumed per week. One drink was defined as approximately 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine, or 1.5 oz of spirits. Lower values indicate lower alcohol consumption.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Fruit and Vegetable Intake at 3 Months
Participants reported average daily fruit and vegetable intake using an 8-category scale ranging from 1 (less than 0.5 cup per day) to 8 (4 cups or more per day). Higher scores indicate greater fruit and vegetable intake.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Consumption of Meat and Preserved Foods at 3 Months
Participants reported average weekly consumption of red meat, processed meat, salty foods, preserved foods, and high-temperature cooked meat. Consumption was expressed as the number of palm-sized servings per week, with one palm-sized serving representing approximately 3 ounces of food. Lower values indicate lower consumption.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cancer-Related Cooking Practices at 3 Months
Participants reported the frequency of cancer-related cooking practices, including high-temperature cooking, deep frying, and use of an Asian-style kitchen range hood. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always).
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cancer-Related Chemical Exposures at 3 Months
Participants reported the frequency of environmental and occupational exposures to chemicals associated with lung and liver cancer. Items were rated from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher scores indicate more frequent exposure.
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Body Mass Index at 3 Months
Body mass index was calculated from participant-reported height and weight as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (kg/m^2).
Measured: Baseline and 3 months after the intervention
Number of High-Risk Participants Who Used Genetic Services by 3 Months
Among participants identified as having increased cancer risk based on their reported family health history, this outcome measured the number who reported visiting a genetics provider for genetic counseling, genetic risk evaluation, or genetic testing within three months after the intervention.
Measured: 3 months after the intervention
Secondary outcomes (6)
Participant Satisfaction With the Cancer Prevention and Navigation Program
Participants rated their satisfaction with the cancer prevention services provided by their community health worker on a 4-point scale from 1 (very unsatisfied) to 4 (very satisfied). Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.
Measured: Immediately after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cancer Family Health History Knowledge After the Intervention and at 3 Months
Participants answered questions assessing cancer family health history knowledge and cancer risk. Each correct response was coded as 1, and incorrect or "not sure" responses were coded as 0. The mean of the item scores was calculated, resulting in a score ranging from 0 to 1. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cancer Family Health History and Cancer Screening Awareness After the Intervention and at 3 Months
Participants rated their awareness of communicating cancer family health history and cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (never heard of it) to 4 (have heard of it). Higher scores indicate greater awareness.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Attitudes Toward Cancer Family Health History and Cancer Screening After the Intervention and at 3 Months
Participants rated their attitudes toward communicating cancer family health history and taking recommended cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). Higher scores indicate more favorable attitudes.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Intention to Engage in Cancer Family Health History Communication and Cancer Screening After the Intervention and at 3 Months
Participants rated their intention to communicate their cancer family health history and follow recommended cancer screenings. Items were rated from 1 (very unlikely) to 4 (very likely). Higher scores indicate stronger intention.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention
Change from Baseline in Cancer Family Health History Communication and Cancer Screening Self-Efficacy After the Intervention and at 3 Months
Participants rated their confidence in communicating cancer family health history and following cancer screening recommendations. Items were rated from 0 (not confident at all) to 10 (completely confident). Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy.
Measured: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention
