Evaluating Whether Charity Incentives Motive Cancer Survivors to Increase Physical Activity
Randomized Trial of Charity-based Incentives to Increase Physical Activity Among Cancer Survivors

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The study is a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of a 12-week physical activity intervention. Fifty cancer survivors will be recruited and allocated to one of two research arms: Fitbit+Only Group or Fitbit+Charity Incentives Group. Participants in both intervention arms will be asked to track their physical activities using Fitbit One, an activity monitor that monitors steps and physical activity and will receive basic educational materials about increasing physical activity. Those in the Fitbit+charity incentives Group will raise money for cancer charities if they meet weekly step targets.
The key outcome variable of the RCT is steps as measured by an activPAL accelerometer. Data will be collected at baseline and 12-weeks. Fitbit data will also be collected for the duration of the 12-week intervention and for 6-weeks following the end of the intervention period to have an initial examination of behavior change maintenance (total 18-weeks).

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Control
The core intervention will include educational materials, access to a basic smartphone app and a Fitbit. Participants will receive a weekly email with a step goal that will increase 10% beyond the previous weeks values. |
Participants will receive a fitbit and lifestyle counseling to increase steps.
Weekly newsletter for first 6 weeks, bi-weekly for remaining weeks with behavioral content designed to increase physical activity (e.g., barriers, SMART goals).

Experimental: Intervention
The core intervention will include educational materials, access to a basic smartphone app and a Fitbit. Participants will receive a weekly email with a step goal that will increase 10% beyond the previous weeks values. Participants will be in the form of a charitable donation in their name to a cancer charity. |
Participants will receive a fitbit and lifestyle counseling to increase steps.
Weekly newsletter for first 6 weeks, bi-weekly for remaining weeks with behavioral content designed to increase physical activity (e.g., barriers, SMART goals).
They will also receive a donation to a cancer charity of their choice if they meet daily step goals.
