Brief Summary

The ACCELERATION (ACtivity, smoking Cessation, healthy Eating and aLcohol Education, inteRvention, and motivATION) Program is a collaborative project in cancer and chronic disease prevention that has been designed by and will be delivered amongst cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and prevention programs and cancer centres in Ontario (ON), British Columbia (BC), Quebec (QC) and Nova Scotia (NS). This project is being funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer, Health Canada and Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and in the amount of $2.4M over a 3 year period (October 2013 - September 2016). The ACCELERATION Program is a 12 week structured model of behavioural interventions and education around self-management and prevention that aims to access readily available and referable people for primary prevention intervention.This program aligns with current provincial, national and international chronic disease prevention and management strategies. The goal of the ACCELERATION program is to measurably and effectively change the risk factors and health behaviours known to impact cancer and other chronic diseases. Specifically we will aim to increase physical activity, reduce smoking, encourage healthy eating, and moderate alcohol consumption in about 3,000 participants across Canada over 3 years.

Study Arms (2)

At Risk Group: ACCELERATION program

EXPERIMENTAL

This "At Risk" Group will include ;People at risk of cancer referred from UHN partners and community practices. Also included in this group are; First Nations population of BC, Asians and South Asian populations from Greater Vancouver and the working population of the City of Richmond employees. At the Montreal site users of the YMCA with risk factors for, or family history of, cancer and other chronic diseases will be targeted. And finally, in Nova Scotia the "At Risk" Group will be identified as being at risk of cancer and other chronic diseases referred from community practices and from the workplace population of the Capital District Health Authority (CDHA). Intervention: Motivational Communication for Health Behavior management

Behavioral: Motivational Communication for Health Behavior management

Friends & Family -ACCELERATION Program

EXPERIMENTAL

This group includes family and friends of cancer survivors and family and friends of cardiac \& COPD rehab patients. The intervention includes Motivational Communication for Health Behavior management

Behavioral: Motivational Communication for Health Behavior management

Interventions

Motivational Communication for Health Behavior managementBEHAVIORAL

An appropriate and evidence-informed model of motivational counselling, health coaching and chronic disease self-management will be integrated into the delivery of all aspects of the ACCELERATION program. The focus will be on 4 health behaviors that include healthy eating, exercise, smoking cessation and moderation of alcohol consumption. This will include engagement techniques such as motivational interviewing, identification of stage of change, visioning of "best self", goal setting and action planning, expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, decisional balance, "rolling with resistance", and supporting self-efficacy. (Rubak 2005, Knight 2006).
