Summary

This study looks at whether a mobile health program combined with social media can help teens and young adults who survived childhood cancer become more physically active. About 387 participants will either use the program plus a fitness tracker or just the tracker alone. The goal is to see if the program boosts daily activity and improves health and quality of life over 12 months.
