Brief Summary

This is a pilot study testing multi-disciplinary health behavior intervention in breast cancer survivors who have been treated at Zuckerberg San Francisco General (ZSFG).

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

1. Evaluating feasibility and acceptability of the program.

2. Evaluating the effects of the program on health outcomes including change in exercise capacity, change in quality of life, change in risk factors, and adverse events.

3. Evaluating changes in patient-reported measures.

OUTLINE:

Participants with a history of breast cancer who receive care at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital (ZSFG) will receive the intervention which is comprised of a 12-week multi-disciplinary health behavior program. Each participant will have an individualized assessment, goal and plan for each component of the program. Follow-up for outcomes will occur at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.

Health Behavior ProgramIntake SessionEach participant will have an individualized assessment with plan and goals set at the program intake visit. Program components will include: Physical Activity, Nutrition, Emotional Well-being, Cardiovascular Risk, Survivorship, and other items individualized to the participant as needed (e.g., tobacco cessation). The 12-week program will alternate between group and individual sessions each week. Individualized plans will be reviewed every two weeks at the participant individual sessions.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of participants with analyzable data for change in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD)Baseline to 12 months

6MWD measures the distance walked over 6 minutes. The farther a person can walk indicates better exercise tolerance and mobility. The changes in distance will be compared at baseline and 12 months. We will measure the proportion of participants with analyzable 6MWD data.

Proportion of participants with analyzable data for change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health - Mental ScaleBaseline to 12 months

The PROMIS Global Health 10 questionnaire is a self-assessed questionnaire that asks participants to respond to 10 questions. The mental health subscale consists of four questions with a raw score between 4 and 20 that is converted to a standardized T-score. Higher scores represent better mental health. We will calculate the change in the score between baseline and 12 months. The proportion of participants who can have a score measured will be calculated.

Proportion of participants with analyzable data for change in PROMIS Global Health - Physical Health ScaleBaseline to 12 months

The PROMIS Global Health 10 questionnaire is a self-assessed questionnaire that asks participants to respond to 10 questions. The physical health subscale consists of four questions with a raw score between 4 and 20 that is converted to a standardized T-score. Higher scores represent better physical health. We will calculate the change in the score between baseline and 12 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in 6MWDBaseline and 3 Months

6MWD measures the distance walked over 6 minutes. The farther a person can walk indicates better exercise tolerance and mobility. The changes in distance will be compared at baseline and 3 months.

Net Promoter Score12 Months

The Net Promoter Score asks the participant to report how likely they are to recommend this health behavior program to another breast cancer survivor on a scale of 1 (Very Unlikely) to 10 (Very Likely). The Score is calculated as the percent of respondents who are "promoters" reporting a 9 or 10 minus the percent of responders who are "detractors" reporting a 1-6. The score can range from -100 to 100, with 100 being the best score.

Change in PROMIS Global Health - Mental ScaleBaseline and 3 Months

The PROMIS Global Health 10 questionnaire is a self-assessed questionnaire that asks participants to respond to 10 questions. The mental health subscale consists of four questions with a raw score between 4 and 20 that is converted to a standardized T-score. Higher scores represent better mental health. We will calculate the change in the score between baseline and 3 months.

The PROMIS Global Health 10 questionnaire is a self-assessed questionnaire that asks participants to respond to 10 questions. The physical health subscale consists of four questions with a raw score between 4 and 20 that is converted to a standardized T-score. Higher scores represent better physical health.
