项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this K07 award application is to provide mentored training and research that will enable Dr. Elliot Coups to transition to an independent investigator position conducting research on the promotion of health enhancing behaviors among cancer survivors. The research proposed in this award focuses on understanding and promoting changes in physical activity and dietary practices among colorectal cancer survivors after completion of cancer treatment. Many colorectal cancer survivors do not engage in physical activity and dietary practices that may decrease their risk of cancer recurrence or for developing others cancers or chronic illnesses. Although evidence suggests that some survivors of colorectal cancer may make positive physical activity and dietary changes after finishing cancer treatment, current knowledge regarding the causes, degree, and effects of such changes is limited. An enhanced understanding of health behavior changes among colorectal cancer survivors will provide a much-needed knowledge base for the development of effective health promotion interventions for this population. Two studies are proposed ,in this application. The first study will use a prospective, longitudinal design to examine the causes, degree, and affective and cognitive effects of physical activity and dietary changes made by colorectal cancer survivors. Drawing on the results of this first study, the second study entails development of a physical activity and dietary intervention for colorectal cancer survivors and a pilot randomized controlled trial of the intervention. A program of formal coursework and mentorship will provide Dr. Coups with training in three areas: (1) cancer prevention and control; (2) design and conduct of randomized controlled trials; and (3) advanced quantitative methods for the analysis of longitudinal data and data from randomized controlled trials. Public Health Relevance: The growing number of cancer survivors in the United States has raised the importance of disease prevention and health promotion in this population. The proposed research will inform the development of health behavior interventions that may enhance quality and quantity of life among cancer survivors.

描述（由申请人提供）：该K07奖励申请的目的是提供指导的培训和研究，使Elliot政变能够过渡到独立研究者职位，该职位进行了有关促进癌症幸存者健康行为的研究。该奖项中提出的研究重点是理解和促进癌症治疗完成后结直肠癌幸存者的体育锻炼和饮食习惯的变化。许多结直肠癌幸存者没有从事体育锻炼和饮食习惯，这些习惯可能会降低其癌症复发的风险或发展其他癌症或慢性病。尽管有证据表明，一些结直肠癌的幸存者在完成癌症治疗后可能会产生积极的体育锻炼和饮食变化，但有关此类变化的原因，程度和影响的当前知识受到限制。对结直肠癌幸存者中健康行为变化的了解，将为这一人群开发有效的健康促进干预措施提供急需的知识库。在此应用中提出了两项研究。第一项研究将使用前瞻性，纵向设计来检查体育活动的原因，程度以及情感和认知作用以及结直肠癌幸存者所做的饮食变化。在第一项研究的结果上，第二项研究需要开发大肠癌幸存者的体育活动和饮食干预措施，以及一项试验的干预措施随机对照试验。正式的课程和指导计划将在三个领域为政变提供培训：（1）预防癌症和控制；（2）设计和进行随机对照试验；（3）用于分析纵向数据和随机对照试验数据的高级定量方法。公共卫生相关性：在美国，癌症幸存者的数量越来越多，提高了预防疾病和健康促进的重要性。拟议的研究将为健康行为干预措施的发展提供信息，以提高癌症幸存者的质量和数量。
