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

Our goal is to explore the effectiveness of 9- month lifestyle medicine based coaching intervention (individual and group coaching) versus control (usual care/ written health instructions). The primary study outcomes will be mean changes in body composition metrics . Secondary outcomes will be the prevalence of metabolic abnormities, progression/regression of Metabolic Syndrome, push-up \& sit/stand capacity, self-reported physical activity, and quality of life/diet/sleep measures.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 60 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:MALE
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * males aged 18-60 years who are currently active as volunteer or career firefighters, have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater based on self-reported height and weight, and express interest in participating in a study of clinical interventions aimed at improving body composition (weight loss), metabolic status, and quality of life. We will recruit participants from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Southern New Hampshire, which are part of the Boston metro area.
  1. * females\*, BMI less than 30 kg/m² based on self-reported height and weight, active psychosis, and a history or diagnosis during the RCT of a major CVD event (myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, or cerebrovascular accident); cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer); abnormal liver function (aminotransferase, bilirubin, or alkaline phosphatase ≥3 times the upper limit of normal) or renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤30 mL/min per 1.73 m²); testosterone treatment; use of anti-obesity (or obesogenic) drugs within the past 6 months; and unwillingness to follow the potential intervention assignments.
  2. * Because this is an exploratory study, the number of subjects is limited, and men make up roughly 85% of the US fire service, the current proposal is limited to men. In future studies, we will include women firefighters.
