Conditions
Interventions
Research-grade accelerometer
Participants will be instructed to wear device for 7 days prior to each visit and to bring the device to each visit. Study staff will extract data from the device within 14 days after each appointment and return the device to patients by mail.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Education Materials
The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) are comprised of recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of malignancies across the continuum of care.
Garmin Vivofit activity tracker
This device can automatically capture and classify different physical activities such as walking, running, biking, swimming and using an elliptical.
Exercise Consultation Calls
The intervention group will receive five monthly exercise consultation calls with an exercise coach in between clinical visits and be provided with an exercise log for their personal use
Interview
The interviews will be conducted by a trained Q-PRO interviewer and audio recorded. Interviews are expected to last approximately 30 minutes. Discussion will include acceptability of the PAI intervention, related tools, and clinical experiences and will help shape/inform refinements need for a larger efficacy trial
Physical Activity Index Assessment (Intervention Arm)
Assessment will capture frequency and time spent in strenuous, moderate, and mild PA over the past 7 days. Survivors also report hours of TV or similar sedentary screen time per week as a measure of sedentary behavior. Completed at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 while on study
Physical Activity Index Assessment (Control Arm)
Assessment will capture frequency and time spent in strenuous, moderate, and mild PA over the past 7 days. Survivors also report hours of TV or similar sedentary screen time per week as a measure of sedentary behavior. Completed at months 6, 9 and 12 while on study.
Health Surveys
Various health surveys will be completed to assess participant health and physical activities.
