PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:~I. To describe the feasibility and acceptability of a group diet education intervention for colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFGH).~SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:~I. To describe perceived barriers to healthy diet among CRC survivors at ZSFGH.~EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:~I. To evaluate for differences in feasibility and acceptability of a group diet education program, based on sociodemographic factors such as education, food insecurity, employment, and race.~II. To explore changes in health-related behaviors pre and post intervention using a validated lifestyle score.~OUTLINE:~Patients attend group diet education sessions over 1.5-2 hours every 2 weeks (weeks 1, 3, and 5).~After completion of study, patients are followed up at 12 weeks.
This pilot trial evaluates the feasibility of a group diet education program for stage I-IV colorectal cancer survivors. Providing a nutrition education program for colon and rectal cancer survivors may help them have better access to the tools necessary to make healthy food decisions that can impact their cancer outcomes.
