Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed in New Mexico (NM) with a loco-regionally staged cancer, completed primary treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), and not currently being treated for a recurrence. Patients with metastatic cancer are eligible with physician approval. * Mild-to-moderate physical functional impairment (raw score between 20 and 34 on the 8-item PROMIS Physical Function survey) * Able to speak, read, \& understand English or Spanish * Participating in less than 120 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity * Living independently and capable of walking 3 blocks (approximately 1300 steps or 0.25 mile) without an assistive device (e.g., cane, walker) and without stopping to rest * Own a smartphone or tablet \*OR\* be willing to use a study-provided smartphone capable of running the Fitbit app. Also, access to the internet or a Wi-Fi hotspot at least once per week is required. Smartphones and data plans will be provided to those individuals who are eligible but do not currently own a device capable of running the Fitbit app. * Availability of a family member or friend to be present (for safety) during the remote assessment of physical performance tests * Willingness to be randomized to either study arm and to wear activity trackers Exclusion Criteria: * Adults not able to consent * Severe impairments (in seeing or hearing) or pre-existing medical limitations for engaging in daily light physical activity (e.g., severe orthopedic conditions, pending hip/knee replacement, dementia, oxygen dependent, chronic vertigo) * Paid employment or volunteer position for greater than 20 hours per week (to avoid potential confounding by occupation activity/inactivity) * Currently participating in a program (personal program, e.g., wearing an activity monitor, or structured program, e.g., another study) to decrease sedentary time or increase physical activity * Planning to move out of New Mexico within the next year
