Telephone, print, and Web-based interventions for physical activity, diet, and weight control among cancer survivors: a systematic review

Telephone, print, and Web-based interventions for physical activity, diet, and weight control... This review provides support for broad-reach modalities, particularly the telephone, in the delivery of lifestyle interventions to cancer survivors. Future research should evaluate (1) newer technologies (i.e., SMS and mobile phone applications), (2) interventions for diverse cancer survivors and those targeting multiple behaviors, (3) long-term outcomes, and 4) cost-effectiveness. Implications for Cancer Survivors Broad-reach lifestyle interventions are effective, with further research needed to evaluate their generalizability and integration into cancer care. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Cancer Survivorship: Research and Practice Springer Journals

Abstract

This review provides support for broad-reach modalities, particularly the telephone, in the delivery of lifestyle interventions to cancer survivors. Future research should evaluate (1) newer technologies (i.e., SMS and mobile phone applications), (2) interventions for diverse cancer survivors and those targeting multiple behaviors, (3) long-term outcomes, and 4) cost-effectiveness. Implications for Cancer Survivors Broad-reach lifestyle interventions are effective, with further research needed to evaluate their generalizability and integration into cancer care.
