This early phase I trial studies how well a web-based lifestyle intervention called Precision Nutrition Coaching Program works in improving health in African American cancer survivors. Participating in the web-based lifestyle intervention program reinforced with experienced lifestyle coaches and consisting of physical activity, nutritional/lifestyle habits, and educational lessons may help to improve overall health and well-being, fitness level, and quality of life in African American cancer survivors.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To conduct a pilot implementation research study to determine the viability, safety, and effectiveness of the use of a 12-month, commercially available, web-based lifestyle behavioral medicine intervention program by individuals who are or have been a Witness Role Model (WRM) in the National Witness Project (NWP). SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To examine the feasibility of this research to subsequently investigate the effects of optimal health and/or lifestyle related behavioral medicine interventions used to promote optimal health on mitigating cancer-related and overall mortality disparities in African Americans (AA), and comorbidity/ chronic disease(s) management over time. (EXPLORATORY) OUTLINE: Participants complete the 12-month Precision Nutrition Coaching Program web-based lifestyle intervention consisting of physical activity at home or a local gym, nutritional/lifestyle habit with a new focus biweekly, and educational lessons about health, nutrition, fitness, or behavior change.

Rate of enrollment
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Rate of refusal
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Program adherence rate
Measured by participation and online tracking of activity completion (workout, habit, and lessons). An overall adherence score will be calculated by averaging the percentage of time each of the 3 activities were completed by each participant over the 12-month intervention.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Program retention
Will be measured by the proportion of participants who are still participating in the study at the end of the 12-month intervention.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Incidence of physical activity related injuries
Biweekly inquiries about possible injuries will be conducted.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Program effectiveness
The effects of the lifestyle intervention program will be ascertained via primarily subjective, self-reported assessments administered at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and a follow-up. Subjective data will be validated through the collection of objective data in a subset of local participants via in-person assessments. Generalized linear mixed model methods, specifically a repeated measures analysis of variance with a random participant effect, as well as fixed effects for time and interaction will be used.
Time frame: Up to 12 months
