Stimulating Researcher/Practitioner Partnerships for Research Aimed at Modifying Dietary Behavior Related to Cancer Risk

Description:
This fact sheet is based on a systematic evidence review conducted by the NCI and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to clarify what is known about the efficacy and effectiveness of behavioral interventions in promoting dietary change. The fact sheet is designed to stimulate partnerships between researchers and practitioners in nutrition and behavioral research, and it suggests several strategies for researchers to incorporate in developing grants to fund research aimed at modifying dietary behavior related to cancer risk.
