Summary

This trial tests whether a personalized diet and exercise program, delivered by phone and online, can help adult survivors of childhood leukemia who are overweight or obese lose weight. Participants are randomly assigned to either the active coaching program or a self-directed approach with standard health guidelines. The study lasts two years and compares weight loss between the two groups.
