Evaluating the Fade to Fitness Program: a Barbershop-based Program for Black Men

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The Fade to Fitness Program is a targeted intervention designed to improve the holistic health and quality of life among Black men. This comprehensive initiative focuses on four key health behaviors: Physical Activity, Healthy Eating, Stress Management, and Depression Management. It is grounded in psychological and social theories like Self-Determination Theory, Motivational Interviewing, and Social Cognitive Theory. The program emphasizes the importance of making informed choices, feeling competent and connected, and learning through observation and modeling. Facilitators play a pivotal role, leading group discussions, providing support, and fostering an inclusive atmosphere. The program is structured into weekly sessions that tackle each health behavior, interspersed with off weeks; for community engagement, especially in barbershops, to discuss health topics and promote a healthier lifestyle.
