Walking Juntos: Developing and Testing a Culturally-Tailored Mobile Health and Social Media Physical Activity Intervention Among Adolescent and Young Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Protocol: CHOA-STUDY00002496NCT: NCT06410209

Overview

This clinical trial tests the impact of a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program on physical fitness in Hispanic or Latino/Latina adolescent and young adult (AYA) childhood cancer survivors. After treatment for cancer, some AYA survivors experience long-term effects from the cancer and its treatment including weight gain, fatigue and decreased physical fitness. Hispanic or Latino/Latina survivors may have a higher risk of these effects compared to non-Hispanics. Regular physical activity helps maintain healthy weight, energy levels and overall health. Participating in a culturally-tailored home-based physical activity program may help increase physical activity in Hispanic or Latino/Latina AYA childhood cancer survivors.

  • Self-report of < 420 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week as assessed and documented via the study-specific Physical Activity Worksheet. Note: See the case report forms packet on the COG study web page for the study specific Physical Activity Worksheet
  • Ambulatory and no known medical contraindications to increasing physical activity
  • No known significant physical or cognitive impairment that would prevent use of the electronic devices used for the protocol intervention (e.g., Fitbit, smartphone, tablet, or computer)
  • Able to read and write Spanish or English
  • Self-identify as Hispanic, Latino/Latina/Latinx

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Post-menarchal female patients who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant in the next year are excluded. Note: Pregnancy status can be established by clinical history with patient. Post-menarchal female patients are eligible as long as they agree to use an effective contraceptive method (including abstinence) during study participation
  • Participants who were enrolled in ALTE2031 (Step by Step) cannot enroll in ALTE2321. Participants who were enrolled in ALTE2321 stage 1 (cultural tailoring) cannot enroll to participate in stage 2 (RCT)
  • All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent. Note: Informed consent may be obtained electronically/online if allowed by local site policy and institutional review board (IRB)/research ethics board (REB) of record
