Purpose: To describe how a multi-sector community-wide cancer prevention program transitioned a community coalition to independence as well as process outcomes and lessons learned from ongoing sustai…
Participation in and Satisfaction with a Community-Based Physical Activity Program Among Hispanic Cancer Survivors
Patterns of home cooking practices among participants in a behavioral weight loss program: A latent class analysis
Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Worksite-Weight-Loss Program for Cancer Prevention among School-District Employees with Overweight and Obesity
The effects of Vibrant Lives, a 6-month worksite-weight-loss program, were examined in a cohort of school-district employees with overweight or obesity. The VL Basic (VLB) participants received materials and tailored text messages, the VL Plus (VLP) participants additionally received WIFI-enabled activity monitors and scales and participated in health challenges throughout the school year, and the VL Plus with Support (VLP + S) participants addit…
A systematic review of the use of dietary self-monitoring in behavioural weight loss interventions: Delivery, intensity and effectiveness
Objective: To identify dietary self-monitoring implementation strategies in behavioural weight loss interventions. Design: We conducted a systematic review of eight databases and examined fifty-nine weight loss intervention studies targeting adults with overweight/obesity that used dietary self-monitoring. Setting: NA. Participants: NA. Results: We identified self-monitoring implementation characteristics, effectiveness of interventions in suppor…
Exploring food preparation practices in families with and without school-aged childhood cancer survivors
Objective: Survival rates for paediatric cancers have increased dramatically since the 1970s, but childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk for several chronic diseases throughout life. Nutrition interventions promoting healthy family meals may support wellness for survivors, but little research has explored CCS family food preparation habits. The goal of the present study was to describe and compare food preparation practices of CCS…
Healthy cooking classes at a children’s cancer hospital and patient/survivor summer camps: Initial reactions and feasibility

Cooking classes have become popular for encouraging healthy eating behaviours in community-based programming and academic research; however, literature on teaching cooking classes in CCS is limited. The purpose of the present study was to address the development and implementatio…
