Family-centered lifestyle program for Black prostate cancer survivors and their caregivers

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial enrolls Black or African American adult prostate cancer survivors (stage 0–III) who have completed treatment and a family caregiver willing to participate. Participants are assigned to a family-centered intervention, a survivor-only intervention, or a control group and receive education sessions and questionnaires to support lifestyle change. Primary outcomes are changes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and overall diet quality measured at post-intervention, with secondary outcomes including 6-minute walk test (6MWT), quality of life, and family health climate assessed at post-intervention and 6 months. The study also examines mediators and moderators of the intervention to understand who benefits and why.
