Study Description

Brief Summary: This study is focused on the development and pilot/feasibility testing of a smartphone application to promote a healthy diet, increase physical activity, and prevent weight gain in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer.

Detailed Description: While successful advancements in treatment for childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) have resulted in a growing cohort of survivors, these survivors are at risk for a number of long-term health problems. This study proposes to develop and conduct feasibility testing for a smartphone application that would deliver a health behavior intervention to this population. A formative phase focused on intervention and software development will be followed by a pilot/feasibility test of the intervention. Participants in the intervention will receive a customized study-designed mobile phone app with a social networking component in which users will be able to support one another. They will also receive personal support from a health counselor to help set goals and discuss areas of concern.
