Phone calls fight cancer in rural communities

NCT ID NCT03903874

Summary

This study tested whether regular phone counseling could help people in rural Alabama become more physically active to help prevent cancer. 245 adults who weren't getting enough exercise received either the phone counseling program right away or were placed on a waiting list. Researchers measured how much moderate-to-vigorous activity participants did over 18 months to see if the phone support made a lasting difference.
