About this study

Pilot study to assess a multi-component intervention to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors with depression.

Read the detailed description

The research project is a pilot study to assess the effects of a multi-component intervention in increasing physical activity among breast cancer survivors with depression. Individuals meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in the 12-week intervention with a 6 month follow up. Intervention components will include print-based education, self-monitoring, Active Living counseling, 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 7, 13, and 25). Changes in physical activity will be assessed using Fitbits to measure weekly minutes of moderate/vigorous activity.

Being tested
Print-based education, Fitbit, Active Living counseling, Facility Access
Medical subject headings
Depression, Motor Activity, Breast Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Print-based educationBehavioural

    All subjects will be given a copy of Exercise for Health: An Exercise Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors. Topics covered within the book include benefits of exercise in breast cancer survivors; recommendations on type, duration, frequency and intensity of exercise; goal-setting; and advice on overcoming barriers.

  • FitbitDevice

    Subjects will be provided with a commercially available activity monitor (i.e., Fitbit) and instructed to wear the device daily.

  • Active Living counselingBehavioural

    The Active Living counseling program consists of 12 weekly group educational sessions, facilitated by project interventionists. These sessions will involve discussion of topics related to increasing physical activity, including: identifying and overcoming barriers, setting goals, and time management.

  • Facility AccessOther

    Subjects will have access to the exercise lab in the UT Southwestern Depression Center consisting of equipment for aerobic exercise (treadmills, stationary bikes, etc.).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Moderate-to-vigorous Physical Activity Measured by Actigraph Accelerometer

    Assess changes in physical activity at 6 months following physical activity intervention.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Depressive Symptoms Measured by the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report(QIDS-SR)

    Assess changes in depressive symptoms at 6 months following physical activity intervention.

    Title: Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report(QIDS-SR) Scoring: ranges from 0-27, higher scores indicate more severe symptomatology

    Measured: 6 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Moderate-to-vigorous Physical Activity Measured by Actigraph Accelerometer (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
