StepByStep: A Randomized Trial of a Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors.
Primary Aim:
To evaluate the effects of a multi-component physical activity intervention including a Fitbit, individualized goal setting, and a social media peer support group compared to the control condition (Fitbit only) on physical activity among adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer (AYA survivors) who do not meet physical activity guidelines.
Secondary Aims:
- To evaluate the effects of a multi-component physical activity intervention including a Fitbit, individualized goal setting, and a social media peer support group compared to the control condition (Fitbit only) on biomarkers predictive of cardiometabolic health among adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer (AYA survivors) who do not meet physical activity guidelines.
- To evaluate the effects of a multi-component physical activity intervention including a Fitbit, individualized goal setting, and a social media peer support group compared to the control condition (Fitbit only) on health-related quality of life among adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer (AYA survivors) who do not meet physical activity guidelines.
