Testing a Novel Stress-induced Eating Intervention for Cancer Prevention
March 6, 2024 updated by: A. Janet Tomiyama, University of California, Los Angeles
Subjects will be enrolled in a stress-induced eating intervention with 5, 7, or 9 treatments or control.
Treatment will comprise imagining a stressful event, engaging in a stress relief activity (Progressive Muscle Relaxation), and consuming a fruit once per day.
There will be one lab visit at baseline in which participants undergo an acute laboratory stressor (i.e., speech and math tasks) and consume food from a buffet.
There will be another lab visit at two weeks post-intervention.
In the second (and final) lab visit, participants will repeat the acute laboratory stressor (i.e., speech and math tasks) and buffet, and additionally complete questionnaires about their experience in the study.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Healthy Eating Index
Time Frame: 14 days after last dose
|
The Healthy Eating Index was developed by the USDA to capture diet quality.
The total score is able to capture both the healthiness of fruits and the unhealthiness of classic comfort foods that are high in calories, fat, and sugar.

14 days after last dose
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Calorie intake
Time Frame: 14 days after last dose
|
Calorie intake will be recorded across all the foods that the participants choose to eat in the outcome assessment buffet.
|
14 days after last dose
|
Acceptability/Credibility
Time Frame: 14 days after last dose
|
The Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire is a validated measure to access issues of intervention acceptability, credibility, and expectancy.
