Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Breast Cancer
• Interventions: Behavioral: Technology-Based Physical Activity Promotion; Behavioral: Pedometer Intervention

• Registration Number: NCT01837147
• Lead Sponsor: University of California, San Diego

Brief Summary

Women who are overweight or do not exercise are at higher risk for breast cancer after menopause. This study will test a new electronic device that measures the body's movement and works alongside a website to help women increase their physical activity level. If effective, this system could be tested in larger studies aiming to reduce breast cancer risk by reducing or preventing obesity.
