Study Details
Meal Timing for Cancer Prevention of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander Families
(IRB#: IRB_00166790)
Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders face a higher risk of obesity-related cancer than other racial/ethnic groups, especially cancer of the uterus, and a higher possibility of cancer risk factors like poor diet and metabolic (how food creates energy) dysfunction. The study will test culturally tailored dietary (eating) strategies for effects on metabolic (how food creates energy) health and mental health among NHPI women at risk of obesity-related cancer, such as colon and breast cancer. The information will help to better understand strategies to improve the health of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations. People in the study will participate in group discussions that last 60 to 90 minutes. Participants will also complete surveys and use a cell phone to track their health. Being in the study will last about 13.5 months. Medical tests will be done to track the health of participants. Participants are paid for their time in the study.
