Patient and Health Care Professional Perspectives on Barriers to and Facilitators of Healthy Eating and Exercise Among Patients With Cancer at a Safety-Net Oncology Clinic: A Qualitative Exploration
Patients with cancer in a safety-net oncology clinic were motivated to participate in healthy living activities. However, health care professionals believed that patients faced barriers with the potential to impact adherence to health care professional recommendations. Further research is needed to better understand and optimize lifestyle counseling in a safety-net oncology setting and explore potential referral pathways to healthy living programs for patients.
