LEAP Program for Cancer Survivors and Co-Survivors

This study is testing a program called LEAP (Leading Healthy Eating and Activity Promotion) to help cancer survivors and their friends or family members (co-survivors) in the Birmingham area. The LEAP Program uses a website with information on healthy eating, exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight. There are also optional in-person community events. The study wants to see if participating in the LEAP Program can improve your weekly intake of vegetables, fruit, and sugary drinks, increase your physical activity, and help manage your body mass index (BMI). This study is for people aged 18 to 89 who speak English and live in the Birmingham area, and who have a history of cancer or are a friend or family member of a cancer survivor. The current status of this study is unclear.
