Existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its modifiable risk factors are associated with increased mortality from coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Clinical attention has focused on acute interventions for COVID-19, but reducing upstream risks associated with poor outcomes must occur in parallel. This is particularly urgent because risk factors for COVID-19 death are prevalent, and the pandemic has negatively impacted lifestyle and socioeconomic factors that augment these risks. Evidence-based lifestyle interventions have a generally short time-to-benefit, and lower risk of CVD and improve markers of immune function. Wider promotion of healthy lifestyle practices will improve the CVD health of the population and could favorably impact COVID-19 outcomes. Research examining how lifestyle modification affects COVID-19 susceptibility and severity is urgently needed.

Intervention Adaptation

Although a number of lifestyle interventions have been developed for cancer survivors, the extent to which they are effective for African American men with cancer is unclear. Given that African American men have the highest prostate cancer burden and the lack of proven interventions, this study developed a culturally-tailored lifestyle intervention for African American men with prostate cancer and their partners that aimed to improve healthy lifestyle behaviors (physical activity and healthy eating) and quality of life. The aim of the present study is to provide a detailed overview of the model-based process of intervention adaptation. Based on the IM Adapt approach (Highfield et al., 2015) and Typology of Adaptation (Davidson et al., 2013), the present study adapted existing, evidence-based interventions to address African American prostate cancer survivors’ and their partners’ potential unmet needs including anxiety/uncertainty about cancer progression, communication between partners, cultural sensitivity, and concordance/discordance of motivation and behaviors between partners. The intervention adaptation was a comprehensive and fluid process. To the best knowledge of the author, this is the first couple-based lifestyle intervention specifically developed for African American men with prostate cancer. The present study will be highly informative to future investigators by providing flexible and detailed information regarding lifestyle intervention adaptation for racial/ethnic minority men with prostate cancer and their partners.

BACKGROUND Reproductive aged women are a high-risk population group for accelerated weight gain and obesity development, with pregnancy recognised as a critical contributory life-phase. Healthy lifestyle interventions during the antenatal period improve maternal and infant health outcomes, yet translation and implementation into real-world healthcare settings remains limited. OBJECTIVE OptimalMe is a randomised, hybrid implementation effectiveness study of an evidence based healthy lifestyle intervention. Which will evaluate intervention penetration and reach and the feasibility, acceptability, adoption and fidelity of the intervention implemented into, and in partnership with, private healthcare. Secondary outcomes include evaluation of individual health outcomes associated with implementation delivery mode, including knowledge, risk perception, health literacy, self-management and health behaviours. METHODS The study design is a parallel, two arm, randomised trial at the level of the individual. Three hundred participants aged 18-44, who are not pregnant, but wish to conceive within the next 12 months at point of recruitment and with access to the internet will be recruited. All participants will receive the same digital lifestyle intervention, OptimalMe, which is supported by health coaching and ongoing text messages across preconception, pregnancy and postpartum. Implementation delivery will be tested comparing two remote delivery methods for health coaching including telephone or video conferencing. All methods are theoretically underpinned by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and outcomes based on the Reach, Engagement, Adaptation, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) and the Penetration, Implementation, Participation, Effectiveness (PIPE) frameworks. RESULTS The Monash Health Human Research and Ethics Committee has approved the study (reference: RES-19-0000291A, approved: 16 August 2019) which has been registered on the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12620001053910). The project is supported with funding from Medibank Private Ltd. Recruitment commenced in July 2020 with results expected to be published in 2022. CONCLUSIONS Our study design aligns with best practice implementation research, informed by evidence from across efficacy trials, integrated into systematic reviews, meta-analyses and guidelines. Results generated will inform translation of evidence from randomised controlled trials on healthy lifestyle interventions into practice targeting women across preconception, pregnancy and postpartum. Learnings will target consumers, program facilitators, health professionals, services and policy makers to inform future scale-up to ultimately benefit the health of women across these life-phases.ults expected to be published in 2022.
