Together Stronger: A Family-centered Lifestyle Intervention for Black Prostate Cancer Survivors and Their Caregivers

NCT ID: NCT07164456Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer CenterLast updated: 2026-03-09

Summary

To establish the efficacy of the family-centered intervention in improving healthy lifestyle behaviors (MVPA and overall diet quality), as well as physical functioning, QoL, and family health climate, compared to survivor-only and control groups.

Detailed description

Primary Objectives • Determine the extent to which MVPA and overall diet quality have improved in Black PCa survivors and their caregivers in the family-centered intervention group, compared to those in the survivor-only and control groups at post-intervention. Secondary Objectives * Determine the extent to which, compared to those in the survivor-only and control groups, both survivors and caregivers in the family-centered group maintain the MVPA and high diet quality at the 6-month follow-up, and experience improved 6MWT, QoL, and family health climate at both post-intervention and 6-month follow-up. * Identify mediators and moderators of the family-centered intervention.
