Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding a mobile health and social media intervention to a physical activity tracker can help adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors be more physically active.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors who've had chemotherapy or radiation, are expected to live more than a year, can walk, and have no medical issues preventing increased physical activity. They must be in remission, finished treatment within the last 3-36 months, do less than 420 minutes of exercise per week, and be able to use devices like Fitbits and smartphones.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The StepByStep Study compares two programs: one that combines mobile health tools with social media to encourage physical activity versus just wearing an activity tracker. The goal is to see which method better increases physical activity levels over time and how this affects overall health and quality of life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-medical methods such as goal setting, education via various media platforms including telephone support, there are no direct side effects like those associated with medications. However, increasing physical activity could lead to muscle soreness or injury if not done carefully.
