Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this randomized controlled trial the investigators will determine whether a mobile health intervention can increase physical activity levels in AYA cancer survivors over a one year period. The investigators will recruit 320 cancer survivors in Alberta who were diagnosed with a first cancer between the ages of 15 to 39 years and are within one year of treatment completion. Participants will be randomized into either the control group (educational information) or the intervention group (educational information; personalized physical activity plan; activity tracker watch; access to a private, online survivor community; motivational text messages and check-in calls/e-mails). All participants will complete fitness testing and questionnaires at baseline, 6 months and 12 months. A final measurement at 24 months will test long-term effectiveness.
