activitychoice: implementing clinic-based physical activity program choices for cancer survivors

Conditions: Cancer; Cardiovascular Diseases; Physical Inactivity

Summary: cardiovascular disease, the number one leading cause of death in the united states, is highly prevalent in cancer survivors. physical activity can reduce risk, and referrals to programs addressing survivors' choices are highly recommended from providers in cancer survivorship, though rarely implemented. the study team proposes to develop activitychoice, a clinic-based implementation program, using patient narrative decision aids to support choices to a group in-person, group virtual, or self-monitored digital health physical activity program.
