A research project funded by the National Cancer Institute to test app-based dietary interventions for colorectal cancer prevention in high-risk individuals, focusing on diet quality and weight management using non-invasive monitoring methods.
Description
This project aims to change health maintenance care in medical settings by identifying feasible methods to help patients at increased risk of colorectal cancer meet and maintain a preventive diet. It tests two app-based dietary approaches versus control to determine the most effective for diet quality and weight management goals for cancer prevention. The study evaluates methods that could be used in primary care to non-invasively monitor diet and energy balance, tracking patient progress.
