Men Moving Forward: A Lifestyle Program for African-American Prostate Cancer Survivors

Description

This study will examine the efficacy of Men Moving Forward (MMF), a four-month community-based lifestyle intervention designed for AA PC survivors. MMF is rooted in the evidence-based Moving Forward lifestyle intervention developed with and for AA breast cancer survivors. This intervention was adapted in collaboration with AA PC survivors. It will offer twice weekly sessions aimed at supporting adherence to the ACS nutrition and physical activity guidelines to promote improved body composition (i.e., decreased adiposity, increased lean mass).
