Study Summary

This trial is testing four different components to see which one is the most effective in helping young adult cancer survivors improve their quality of life. The components are: e-coaching, buddy, general mindfulness training, and MVPA-specific mindfulness training.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adult cancer survivors aged 18-39, who are at least three months post-primary treatment but may still be on hormone therapies. They should engage in less than 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity weekly, own a smartphone with internet access, and speak English fluently. Participants need a 'Buddy' willing to support them and share Fitbit data. Pregnant individuals or those in other trials cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The OPT2MOVE study tests four components: e-coaching, buddy support, general mindfulness training, and MVPA-specific mindfulness training within a mobile health program aimed at increasing physical activity over 12 weeks among young adult cancer survivors to improve their quality of life.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on exercise and mindfulness training rather than medication or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not expected. However, participants might experience typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness.
