About this study

The research project is a study to assess the effects of a multi-component intervention in increasing physical activity among breast cancer survivors. Individuals meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized to one of sixteen intervention groups for the 6 months. Intervention components will include print-based education, self-monitoring, Active Living counseling, supervised exercise sessions, and facility access. Blood samples will be collected at baseline. Assessments (anxiety, stress, sleep) and sample collection will also occur at 3 time points during the intervention (Weeks 13 and 25). Changes in physical activity will be assessed for each intervention group.

Self-monitoring (Fitbit)

Behavioral

Participants will be given a Fitbit to monitor their physical activity levels.

Active living counseling

Behavioral

Participants will attend 12 biweekly educational sessions about how to increase their physical activity levels.

Primary outcomes
