General Information



Disease Group:	Cancer Prevention	Supported By:	Division of Cancer Prevention

Phase of Study:	N/A	Return Visit:	Twice.

Treatment Agents:	Behavioral Intervention	Home Care:	Participants must do a step test and hip and waist circumference measurements at home, as well as use a handheld computer to record information about physical activity and the environment for 7 days.

Treatment Loc:	Only at MDACC

Estimated Length of Stay in Houston:	No hospitalization is required.


Description/ Intervention:	The goal of this behavioral research study is to compare measures of physical activity, physical fitness, and body composition that are done in an exercise lab to tests and questionnaires that you do in your own home.

Study Objectives / Outcomes

The specific aim of this study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility and validity of home-based data collection methods to measure four constructs:
· Physical Activity: Real-time assessment using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and pedometers
· Cardiorespiratory Fitness: Step test
· Anthropometry: Waist and hip circumference measurements
· Environmental Variables: Examples include density of neighborhood physical activity facilities (including gyms, parks, walking trails), crime, land use mix, and transportation variables, collected by participants using EMA.
