CTxCPCRN Aims
•
Participate in CPCRN collaborative projects
•
Work with stakeholders to advance CBPR around cancer
prevention and control
•
Disseminate evidence-based cancer prevention and control
interventions in the community, state, and national networks
•
Develop interventions to promote healthy behavior among
cancer survivors
Resources We Bring to the Network
• Interdisciplinary team
• Experience modifying cancer risk behaviors
• Strong commitment to CBPR principles
• Access to communities in our catchment area
• Affiliation with system of healthcare providers
• AgriLife as a dissemination arm
Idea for Cross-Site Work
on Survivorship
• Establish or participate in work group
• Review survivorship literature on care transitions
and promotion of healthy lifestyles
• Conduct focus groups with survivors to learn more
about type of interventions they would like
• Develop and pilot cross-site intervention
Our Interests in Survivorship
• The number of people surviving cancer is
increasing; 9.8 million cancer survivors in U.S.
• Increased risk for secondary cancers and other
diseases
• Evidence of nonadherence to health behavior
recommendations
• Healthcare transition from specialty to primary care
Options for Focus Group Study
• Identify needs of survivors and their families
across the country related to
▫ Connecting with community resources
▫ Social support
▫ Mental and physical health
▫ Promoting healthy behavior
▫ Transitions in healthcare
▫ Other needs
Intervention Possibilities
• Help with goal setting to adhere to health
behavior recommendations
• Ways to ease the transition back from specialist
to primary care physician
Intervention Design
