An interventional study of Educational Intervention and Questionnaire Administration in Hematopoietic and Lymphatic System Neoplasm and Malignant Solid Neoplasm, sponsored by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-05-15.
Sponsored by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a food safety educational training program on food safety knowledge and behaviors in cancer patients receiving treatment. Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, can put patients at risk for foodborne infections and despite this risk, it has been reported that patients do not receive any food safety counseling until they are already experiencing low white blood cell counts. A food safety educational training program may help cancer patients make better choices of low-risk foods and prepare foods safely.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate the efficacy of a food safety education intervention for cancer patients.
OUTLINE:
Patients attend a food safety educational training program over 50 minutes on study.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 5 weeks.
9,365 studies on the registry are indexed under Neoplasms; 2,489 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 120 is above the median of 50 across 7,253 interventional studies indexed under Neoplasms.
