mHealth Intervention to Promote Cancer Survivors' Physical Activity
| Status: | Enrolling by invitation |
|---|---|
| Healthy: | No |
| Age Range: | 14 - 18 |

| Start Date: | July 2015 |
| End Date: | June 2016 |
The Primary Goal is to conduct a 5-10 week randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the Fitbit
Flex, a popular, affordable, wearable physical activity tracking device, and the Fitbit
mHealth app. The target population will be childhood cancer survivors 14-18 years old
recruited from Seattle Children's Hospital. For the intervention group, peer influences will
be engaged via a private, social network (e.g. a Facebook group) customized for survivors.
Measurements will be completed (1) at baseline, prior to randomization, and (2) during the
final week of the intervention period (follow-up measure). This study will provide initial
proof of concept and allow for further customization of the intervention for childhood
cancer survivors in anticipation of a future, larger proposal to study physical activity and
related outcomes over a multi-year period.
