Optimal Defaults Grocery Shopping Intervention to Promote Healthy Diets for Pediatric Cancer Survivors and Their Families
Sponsor: Roswell Park Cancer Institute
Summary
This clinical trial tests the feasibility, acceptability and effect of an optimal defaults grocery shopping intervention to promote healthy diets for pediatric cancer survivors and their families. Pediatric cancer survivors are a growing population who are at an increased risk of developing chronic conditions and treatment-related complications. Poor nutritional intake can significantly worsen chronic health conditions experienced by survivors. Children who have poorer nutrition post-treatment are at greater risk for cancer recurrence. Interventions that effectively support families in obtaining and consuming healthier food and improve dietary intake are poised to improve developmental outcomes among pediatric cancer survivors. One promising way to impact the family diet is by targeting food purchasing. Optimal defaults, or making the healthy choice the automatic choice, is a specific nudge strategy that may be a feasible, acceptable and effective way to promote healthier food purchasing and dietary intake among pediatric cancer survivors and their families.
