Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the experience of Hispanic cancer survivors participating in Active Living After Cancer (ALAC), a community-based physical activity program. We analyzed participation and satisfaction data from 250 participants who completed the program from 2017 to 2020 (55% Hispanic, 28% Black, 14% non-Hispanic White). Using a hybrid coding approach, open-text survey comments responses from Hispanic participants (n = 138) were qualitatively analyzed and key themes developed to better contextualize the quantitative results. Quantitative analysis revealed that Hispanic participants attended an average of 9.44 out of 12 sessions. There were no differences in attendance by race/ethnicity; however, Hispanic participants reported significantly higher overall satisfaction ratings than non-Hispanic White participants (4.93 vs 4.65 on a 5-point scale). Open-ended comments indicated that Hispanic ALAC participants experience collective efficacy, self-efficacy, and self-regulation, through observational learning enabled by program facilitation. The ALAC program is highly acceptable and relevant to Hispanic cancer survivors and will inform the continued expansion of other community-based survivorship programs for Hispanic communities throughout Texas.
