Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Telephone-Based Education and Prevention Intervention for Teens and Young Adults
RATIONALE: Telephone-based cancer education and counseling may help participants learn about
ways of preventing cancer and choose a lifestyle that will help them stay healthy as they
grow older.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying telephone-based cancer education and
telephone-based counseling to see how well they work compared with telephone-based cancer
education alone in young participants.
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the efficacy of telephone-based cancer education with vs without counseling in
younger participants.
Secondary
- Determine the mechanisms by which education with counseling may impact cancer-relevant
cognitive and behavioral outcomes.
- Identify teens who may be most and least likely to benefit from education with
counseling.
OUTLINE: This is a pilot, controlled, randomized study. Participants are stratified
according to age (13-14 years vs 15 years vs 16 years vs 17 years vs 18-21 years), gender,
race (white vs black vs other), and health status (chronic disease vs no chronic disease).
Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 education arms.
- Arm I: Participants undergo cancer education sessions via telephone over 45 minutes
once a week for 8 weeks.
- Arm II: Participants under cancer education sessions as in arm I and counseling
techniques during the same telephone sessions.
In both arms, participants receive an intervention kit by mail before the first telephone
call. The intervention kit includes age-appropriate self-help materials.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 participants will be accrued for this study.
