Practical Lessons from the Speeding Research-Tested Intervention (SPRINT) program: A Discussion Paper
ABSTRACT
Background:
A culturally tailored technology-based cancer support program was recently developed and tested among Asian American breast cancer survivors to assist their survivorship process. To explore future opportunities to sustain the program, the research team participated in the SPeeding Research-tested INTervention (SPRINT) program sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
Objective:
The purpose of this presentation is to share and discuss the lessons from the research team’s experience in the NCI sponsored SPRINT program.
Methods:
During the program participation, the research team conducted 73 interviews for customer discovery through WebEX, phone calls, and in-person visits (50 in-person interviews, 4 phone interviews, and 19 WebEx interviews). All the interviews were recorded using audio-taping or writing memos. Also, the research team wrote memos on the issues/concerns related to the project during the interview process. Then, the transcripts were analyzed using a content analysis. The themes from the analysis were used as the evidence to support the discussion points.
Results:
The themes reflecting the lessons that the research team learned from the SPRINT program included: (a) “who are the stakeholders”; (b) “depending on stakeholders”; (c) “what works or not”; (d) “personal versus family responsibilities”; and (e) “depending on countries’ situations.”
Conclusions:
The design and implementation process of technology-based cancer support programs need to consider the actual needs of stakeholders and current market situations.
