Summary

This study tests a clinic program called ActivityChoice that helps cancer survivors become more physically active to lower their risk of heart disease. About 114 adult cancer survivors will be offered a choice of group in-person, group virtual, or self-monitored digital exercise programs. The goal is to see if offering these choices increases the number of patients who get referred and actually join a program.
