Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to implement and evaluate the feasibility of Project MOVE, a program aimed to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors through microgrants and financial incentives.

Conditions

Cancer Prevention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Program Feasibility (questionnaire)

  Program feasibility will be evaluated using mixed-methods, including a questionnaire, focus groups and semi-structured telephone interviews. A 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire with 1 being "strongly disagree" and 5 being "strongly agree" will be one method used to measure feasibility. Questions will focus on program satisfaction, program appropriateness and participant's perceived confidence to engage in physical activity and continue to engage in physical activity in the long term.

  Post-intervention (6 months)

• Program Feasibility (focus groups)

  Program feasibility will also be measured using focus groups. Focus groups with each of the Project MOVE groups (ranging 8 to 12 participants per group) will be conducted at the 6-month follow-up. All group members will be invited to participate. Questions will pertain to participants' experiences of Project MOVE specific to adoption, implementation, and maintenance. The focus groups will be audio recorded with a digital SonyTM recorder (ICD-PX333) and transcribed verbatim.

  Post-intervention (6 months)

• Program Feasibility (interviews)

  Program feasibility will also be measured using semi-structured interviews with each of the group leaders. Phone interviews will be scheduled within 1-4 weeks after the 6-month follow-up data collection period. Open ended questions will be utilized and will focus on the microgrant application process, challenges and enablers to leading a Project MOVE group, and the leader's perception of group member's experiences with Project MOVE. Phone interviews will be recorded using the digital SonyTM recorder (ICD-PX333) and transcribed verbatim.

Study Arms (1)

Single-Arm Feasibility Study

EXPERIMENTAL

Participant determined 6-month physical activity program

Behavioral: Single-Arm Feasibility Study

Interventions

Single-Arm Feasibility Study BEHAVIORAL

Groups of 8 to 12 participants, consisting of \>50% breast cancer survivors, were invited to apply for up to $2000 to enable access to equipment, resources, facilities, instruction and/or transportation to implement a physical activity intervention. Applicants were assessed by a Grant Review Panel. Successful applicants were informed that they would receive an additional $500 incentive if they increased their group's mean physical activity at six month follow-up (assessed via accelerometry).
