Study Details

This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.

Arms

• Experimental: Stage 1 (Fitbit, interview)
  Patients wear a Fitbit physical activity tracker daily, set physical activity goals, receive text messages, and view private social media peer support group content over 7-10 days once every 3 months. Patients also wear a research grade activity measuring device over 1-3 days and participate in a one-on-one interview once every 3 months for 9 months. (COMPLETE 10/30/2025)
• Experimental: Stage 2, Group I (Fitbit, goal setting, peer support)
  INTENSIVE PHASE: Patients wear a Fitbit physical activity tracker daily and receive weekly reminders to wear the Fitbit for 12 weeks. Patients attend weekly goal setting sessions, receive individualized physical activity goals, view and post private social media peer support group content 2-3 times weekly, receive badges, and participate in a monthly Zoom meeting with their peers to discuss physical activity for 12 weeks. Patients may optionally choose a physical activity partner. Partners wear a Fitbit physical activity tracker and receive educational materials about supporting the participant. MAINTENANCE PHASE: Patients wear a Fitbit physical activity tracker daily and set their own physical activity goals weekly for 4 weeks. Patients also receive access to the social media account and post content for 4 weeks. In addition, patients may continue to have their physical activity partner support them as in the Intensive Phase.
• Active Comparator: Stage 2, Group II (Fitbit)
  Patients wear a Fitbit physical activity tracker daily for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measure
