Brief Motivational Intervention for Physical Activity in Cancer Survivors

This study is testing a "Brief Motivational Intervention" to help cancer survivors who are part of the World Trade Center Health Program become more physically active. This intervention uses motivational interviewing, mobile health tracking, and action planning to encourage physical activity. The main goal is to see if this intervention increases your moderate to vigorous physical activity over six months. You might be able to join if you are a cancer survivor who has completed treatment, can walk slowly, and are part of the World Trade Center Health Program. People currently receiving active cancer treatment (except hormonal therapy) or with late-stage cancer cannot participate. The study is currently recruiting 84 participants.

What this trial measures

  • Change in Moderate to Vigorous Physical ActivityBaseline to end of study (6 months)

    The primary outcomes will be measured with Fitbit data. Fitbit software allows classification of each minute as being in sedentary, light, moderate, or vigorous activity, and provides metabolic equivalents (METs) for each minute. Positive changes in levels of physical activity will be determined by a 25% increase in MVPA from baseline to end of intervention. This estimation is based on a systematic review of motivational physical activity interventions in cancer survivors (Takemura, 2024). This change in outcome measure is well justified and sensitive to small changes in activity.
