Summary

This study will develop and test the benefits of a new ICCS (Interactive Cancer Communication System), a mobile Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (Survivorship CHESS) in colon cancer survivors. Survivorship CHESS will provide information, tools, and a support system based on our previous work with FRESH START and CHESS, two highly successful interventions that have promoted lifestyle change among cancer patients and survivors. Survivorship CHESS will be designed to help subjects develop 1) competence in information gathering, decision-making, and behaviors they are trying to change, 2) social support systems to help deal with the cancer experience, and 3) autonomy that comes with regaining a sense of control over their lives; this in turn, will help them adopt or maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors and improve their quality of life.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Survivorship CHESS

Once the consent, baseline survey and one week accelerometer data is received by the UW research team subjects will be randomized to one of the two study conditions. Subjects will be notified of their randomization. Subjects randomized to the Survivorship CHESS condition will be offered training on the smartphone and the CHESS system. The project director (and site research coordinators) will provide training on the smartphone either in person or over the phone. Additionally, an online tutorial will be included in the Survivorship CHESS intervention for subjects to refer to as needed. Participants will then be asked to complete four surveys one baseline and then three follow up surveys.

OTHER

Control

This person will receive usual care and a copy of the National Cancer Institute's Facing Forward booklet and the National Cancer Center Network cancer survivor toolbox.
