Optimizing intervention tools to improve nutrition and physical activity for colorectal cancer survivors (Tools To Be Fit): Study protocol of a randomized factorial experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The American Cancer Society (ACS) Nutrition and Physical Activity Guidelines are associated with longer survival among CRC survivors, but few report behaviors consistent with the guidelines.

Methods

The Tools To Be Fit study, based on the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework, is a full factorial experimental to optimize a remotely delivered 48-week diet and physical activity intervention for non-metastatic CRC survivors. The intervention includes a core component (booklet and personal report). CRC survivors (N = 400) are additionally randomly assigned to one of 16 combinations of four candidate components, each with 2 options: 1) text messaging (on/off); 2) self-mon
