Web-based Physical Activity Intervention for Young Adult Cancer Survivors

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer

In brief

The goal of this study is to adapt a previously developed web-based physical activity intervention so that the intervention targets young adult cancer survivors(age 18 to 39). The web-based intervention will then be pilot tested to determine whether it is feasible for and acceptable to young adult cancer survivors; we hypothesize that the intervention will be both feasible and acceptable. Preliminary data on the effects of the intervention on physical activity level, mood and fatigue will also be collected.
