RECRUITING

Cooperative Extension and Cancer Survivorship

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a cancer survivor program, delivered via Cooperative Extension, is feasible and if it can improve health outcomes in cancer survivors who are post-active treatment. Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of SUCCESS. Hypothesis 1: SUCCESS will be feasible and acceptable as evidenced by delivery of the intervention among Educators (implementation), including in agreement with the curriculum in Phase 1 (fidelity) with \>85% attendance (demand) among participants with \>80% rating the intervention as acceptable or highly acceptable on 5-point Likert-type scale (acceptability). Aim 2: Determine the preliminary efficacy of SUCCESS for improving HRQOL (primary outcome) and other psychosocial and health-related endpoints (e.g., financial toxicity) (secondary outcomes). Hypothesis 2: Compared to matched controls, adults LWBC who complete SUCCESS will have significant improvements in HRQOL per the PROMIS Global Health v1.2 at follow-up (i.e., after 6 weeks). Aim 3: Examine changes in conserved transcriptional response to adversity (CTRA) gene expression in a subset of interventions participants at follow-up. Hypothesis 3: Adults LWBC who complete SUCCESS will experience significant CTRA down-regulation. This is a single arm trial and there is no comparison group. Participants will be asked to do survey- and Zoom-based data collection before and after completing the 6-week program.
