Summary

The Move for Your Health (MY Health) Pilot Study is a 12-week study for older cancer survivors to promote light physical activity. The home-based study (no travel required) will test whether a Fitbit activity tracker and health coaching can help cancer survivors be more active throughout the day.

Detailed description

The objective is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based lifestyle activity intervention to promote light-intensity activity using a whole-of-day approach. Sixty-four older cancer survivors will be randomized to either a 12-week theory-based intervention or a waitlist control. The intervention uses a Fitbit activity tracker that pairs with a smartphone app to promote awareness and enable self-monitoring of both activity and inactivity. Motivational counseling will be used to individually tailor strategies to achieve goals. Data will be collected at baseline, post-intervention (week 13), and 3-months post-intervention (week 26).
