Home-Based Measures of Physical Activity and Body Composition
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Summary
The specific aim of this study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility and validity of home-based data collection methods to measure four constructs: * Physical Activity: Real-time assessment using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and pedometers * Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Step test * Anthropometry: Waist and hip circumference measurements * Environmental Variables: Examples include density of neighborhood physical activity facilities (including gyms, parks, walking trails), crime, land use mix, and transportation variables, collected by participants using EMA.

Interventions
Physical Activity Recall
Hand-held computers will be used to record information for 7 days about physical activity. Assessments will be completed either 3 times a day or once a day.
Environmental Assessments
Hand-held computer programs will be used to collect information about the community. Some factors will be assessed only once (e.g., availability of facilities) while other information will be collected over the course of 7 days (e.g., perceptions of neighborhood safety).
