Harvesting Health Program in Improving Diet and Physical Activity Level in Cancer Survivors
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cancer Survivor
In brief
This pilot clinical trial studies the Harvesting Health Program in improving the diet and physical activity level of cancer survivors. Nutrition and physical activity classes and the opportunity to harvest fruits, vegetables, and herbs may increase participants' fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity levels. Studying the participation rates and changes in participants' eating and physical activity habits may help doctors learn whether the program has an effect on participant lifestyle.
