Registration Number
NCT05870176
Lead Sponsor
University of Massachusetts, Worcester
Brief 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.

Number of enrolled clinicians/Number of eligible clinicians

Patient EngagementExamined at baseline, 3-, and 6-months

Program enrollment (number referred/number enrolled);

Clinic/Clinician fidelity of delivering patient decision aidsBaseline

Clinic delivery of patient decision aids as reported by patients

Patient Retention3- and 6-months

Percent of enrolled patients completing follow-up surveys at 3- and 6-months

Patient Autonomous RegulationBaseline, 3- and 6-months

Behavioral Regulation for Exercise Questionnaire-2 (Minimum=0, Maximum=76; Higher scores indicates greater regulation/motivation)

Patient Self-Report Physical ActivityBaseline, 3- and 6-months

Change from baseline to 3- and 6-months in light, moderate and vigorous physical activity survey-measured (Godin leisure time questionnaire) physical activity. The questionnaire is a 4-item self-administered questionnaire with the first three questions seeking information on the number of times one engages in mild, moderate and strenuous leisure-time physical activity bouts of at least 15 min duration in a typical week. Scores can range from 0 to 98, with the higher score meaning a greater level of activity for that week.

Patient narrative decision aid acceptability and effectiveness (Enhanced Referral only)Baseline following referrals

Acceptability of decision aid using the Ottawa Decision Aid Centre 10-item acceptability of decision aids (Minimum score=0, Maximum score=100; Higher score indicates higher decisional conflict and uncertainty

Patient Health-related Quality of LifeBaseline, 3- and 6-months

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G): Physical, social, emotional and functional well-being (Minimum=0, Maximum=127; Higher score means a higher quality of life)

Patient Objective Physical ActivityBaseline, 3- and 6-months

Change from baseline to 3- and 6-months in steps, light, moderate and vigorous physical activity measured via Fitbits.
