Overview
“StepByStep: A Randomized Trial of a Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors”
Survivors of childhood cancer require interventions during adolescence and young adulthood to optimize their long-term health given their increased risk of chronic conditions typically found in much older adults, including cardiometabolic disease and reduced cardiopulmonary fitness, obesity, and osteoporosis. Physical activity has been shown to reduce the risk and severity of many of these conditions and is associated with improved health-related quality of life.
