What this Trial Is About
This trial studies Hispanic cancer survivors to assess a culturally appropriate Latin Dance programs impact compared to usual care on sleep quality. It explores how feasible and acceptable the dance intervention is and examines its potential effects on cancer- and treatment-related side effects such as quality of life, distress, insomnia, and fatigue. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups usual care or an 8-week virtual Latin Dance program. The dance sessions occur twice a week for 75 minutes each. The study uses a community-informed approach to develop the dance intervention tailored for Hispanic survivors, aiming to support supportive care needs. During the study, participants complete various assessments including sleep quality questionnaires, actigraphy monitoring for sleep patterns, physical activity and sleep diaries, and quality of life and symptom scales at baseline and post-intervention. The study also monitors acceptability and feasibility through participant feedback. The total intervention and assessment period lasts approximately 8 weeks.
