Objectives: To identify components of efficacious interventions for multiple health behavior change (MHBC) in adult cancer survivors or adults at high risk for cancer. Methods: A systematic review of MHBC interventions was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items
for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses framework. Results: Ten studies met inclusion criteria. Most studies changed at least 2 health behaviors. Diet, exercise, and smoking cessation were consistently changed with in-person interventions. Longer duration interventions using phone
or mail contact had a positive association with changing diet and exercise. Conclusions: MHBC interventions positively influenced behavior change in adults with cancer and those at high risk for cancer. Future studies should focus on increasing dissemination and implementation of efficacious interventions.",
