AYA-PACT Trial Summary
This trial will test whether a mobile health intervention can help young adult cancer survivors become more physically active.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adult cancer survivors in Alberta, aged 15-39, who finished their main cancer treatment within the last year. They must be able to communicate in English and have regular internet access and a mobile phone with texting. It's not for those who can't walk for exercise, are pregnant or planning pregnancy soon, or already very active.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a mobile health program helps increase physical activity over one year. Participants will either get educational materials only (control group) or also a personalized activity plan, an activity tracker watch, online community access, motivational texts and calls/emails (intervention group). Fitness and surveys will track progress at intervals up to two years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves increased physical activity supported by digital tools rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness or strain but are generally expected to be minimal.
