NCT04257526

Brief Summary

The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to develop and evaluate the impact of promoting advice on diet and lifestyle recommendations for cancer prevention at colorectal cancer screening among individuals who may be at higher risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). The specific objectives of this study are to 1) develop a lifestyle intervention based on evidenced-based diet and lifestyle recommendations (i.e. those proposed by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) and the French National Cancer Institute); 2) evaluate the effect of the intervention on the adherence to the target diet and lifestyle recommendations as well as other subjective health measures, including quality of life; 3) evaluate the effect of the intervention on biological pathways linked to colorectal cancer development including physical fitness, anthropometrics, biomarkers for nutrition, and metabolic health.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in knowledge score assessed via a knowledge questionnaire

    The knowledge regarding the effect of lifestyle factors on cancer risk and cancer prevention lifestyle recommendations will be assessed via a knowledge score derived from the General Nutrition \& Physical Activity Knowledge Questionnaires

    1 year

  • Improvement in lifestyle score assessed via lifestyle questionnaires

    WCRF lifestyle score will be assessed through lifestyle questionnaires. Compliance with the WCRF recommendations is considered achieved if this WCRF lifestyle score increases to more than 5 out of 8. The following questionnaires will be used to assess lifestyle changes: French EPIC food frequency questionnaire; the International Physical Activity Questionnaires - IPAQ; Weight and height measurements to assess BMI.

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

Intervention

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Colorectal cancer free participants receive evidence-based diet and lifestyle advice in addition to the 'usual care' following a positive FIT test and diagnostic colonoscopy

Behavioral: Diet and lifestyle advice following a positive FIT test and diagnostic colonoscopy.

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Colorectal cancer free participants receive the 'usual care' following a positive FIT test and diagnostic colonoscopy

Interventions

Participants will be recruited during CRC screening and will be included if they have a positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) and are diagnosed with adenomas but are CRC negative during the colonoscopy. Participants receive evidence-based diet and lifestyle advice intervention with 'usual care'.

Intervention

Eligibility Criteria
