The programs were developed based on focus groups with cancer survivors, reviewing professional organizational standards and national standards for such areas as exercise and nutrition. We combined these inputs with processes to increase self-efficacy and to allow participants to self-tailor the workshops to their own needs. In addition, many methods from cognitive behavioral therapy are included.
