Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Investigators are studying how combining a stepped-care mental health counseling program with an evidence-based exercise program can help Latina cancer survivors feel better mentally and physically. The goal is to improve stress, emotions, and physical activity during and after cancer treatment. In addition, investigators will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention among Latina cancer survivors.

- Combining exercise program and stepped-care counseling
- description
- Investigators are offering Latinas who have cancer a combination of an exercise program and mental health that will take place online. All participants will receive an 8 week evidence-based exercise program. In addition, Latinas with cancer will take a survey on depression and anxiety to determine which level of mental counseling they will receive. They will take surveys at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 10 weeks to see if their levels of depression and anxiety have changed. If their symptoms increase they will receive more counseling sessions.
