SMLI With Hispanic Cancer Survivors and Caregivers

Fewer than 20% of Hispanic cancer survivors meet the American Cancer Society\'s (ACS) Guidelines on Nutrition and Physical Activity. Diagnosed at younger ages, later stages and with fewer resources (e.g., access to care), Hispanic cancer survivors are more likely to suffer from many symptoms, which linger long after they have completed treatment and may prevent them from leading a healthy life. Healthier lifestyle behaviors (such as diet and physical activity) would result in an immediate benefit of reduced symptoms and long-term benefit of improved health while lowering cancer risk. This randomized controlled trial tests an intervention that will help in lessening survivors\' symptoms to improve adherence to the ACS guidelines for cancer prevention ultimately improving overall health.
