ACS Journals shared a post on LinkedIn:
“A new commentary in CANCER, authored by American Cancer Society (ACS) researchers, provides methodological transparency in operationalizing the 2020 ACS Guidelines for Diet and Physical Activity for Cancer Prevention and 2022 ACS Guidelines for Nutrition and Physical Activity for Cancer Survivors into a standardized scoring system.
The ACS Guidelines, available to access and download for free in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, reflect the latest, evidence-based recommendations for modifiable lifestyle factors for reducing cancer risk and improving cancer survival.
The ACS Guideline Scores can capture multiple health behaviors together, assess individual components, and are adaptable to various data and survey collection instruments.”
Kathryn Chiang, Post-Doctoral Fellow in Population Science at American Cancer Society, shared American Cancer Society Journals’s post, adding:
“Very excited to share our publication on the ACS Guideline Scores is live!
This is a great research tool for capturing co-occurring health behaviors for body weight, physical activity, diet, and alcohol consumption as well as alignment to the ACS Guideline for Cancer Prevention and ACS Guideline for Cancer Survivors. We encourage its usage across various diverse populations!”
