Summary

This research study tests the feasibility of the Physical Activity Centers Empowerment (PACE) physical activity intervention for African American individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Feasibility will be measured as intervention reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. Seventy-two subjects will be recruited to conduct a pilot two-group, randomized repeated measures study.

Detailed description

The purpose of this research is to improve the quality of life for underserved cancer survivors by increasing physical activity. A physical activity intervention will be tested for feasibility with African American cancer survivors. The project will serve as a foundation for intervening with other underserved cancer survivors. Feasibility will be measured as intervention Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance, following the RE-AIM framework. Survey and biomarker data will be collected at baseline, 3 and 9 months later. These time points will facilitate exploration of changes pre- and post-intervention, and to determine if effects are maintained 6 months after completing the intervention. Our primary hypothesis is that the intervention will be feasible to deliver.
