Methods: Questionnaires and semi-structured stakeholder engagement sessions were conducted with cancer survivors to explore preferences, barriers and facilitators\/benefits at two timepoints: (1) pre-ACE: prior to initiation of the ACE pilot trial (n = 13 survivors and n = 5 caregivers); and (2) post-ACE: following participation in the ACE pilot trial (n = 20 survivors). Descriptive statistics were used to summarize quantitative data from questionnaires. Stakeholder engagement data were analyzed using a framework analysis approach. Emergent themes were then mapped to actionable outcomes. Results: Pre-ACE, survivors indicated a preference for exercise programs that were (1) supervised by exercise specialists knowledgeable about cancer, (2) included support from other health care providers, (3) were held in community locations that were easily accessible. Post-ACE, participants identified (1) a lack of exercise counseling from health care providers, (2) the need for earlier introduction of exercise in the care pathway, and (3) supported referral to exercise programming. Conclusions: An integrated knowledge translation approach identified actionable outcomes to address survivor needs related to exercise in clinical cancer and community-based contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17113911","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,2]],"date-time":"2020-06-02T04:09:03Z","timestamp":1591070943000},"page":"3911","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A Practical Approach to Using Integrated Knowledge Translation to Inform a Community-Based Exercise Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0520-3280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kirsten","family":"Suderman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, University of Alberta, 2-50 Corbett Hall, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naomi","family":"Dolgoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, University of Alberta, 2-50 Corbett Hall, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Janice","family":"Yurick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cross Cancer Institute, Alberta Health Services, 11560 University Avenue, Edmonton, AB T6G 1Z2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Sellar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, University of Alberta, 2-50 Corbett Hall, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryn","family":"Nishimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, University of Alberta, 2-50 Corbett Hall, Edmonton, AB T6G 2G4, Canada"},{"name":"Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.
