Looking for young adult cancer survivors Are you a young adult (age 18 to 39) who was diagnosed with cancer when you were at least 18 years old? Would you like to begin an exercise program? If soyou may be eligible for a study at the Miriam Hospital Previous research has shown that exercise can provide a number of benefits to cancer survivors such as improve their mood and reduce fatigue. Researchers at the Miriam Hospital have designed a web-based exercise program for young adult cancer survivors and are looking for volunteers to test the program. The website is designed to help young adult cancer survivors begin a program of moderate-intensity exercisewhich is equal to a brisk walk. What does this study involve? Meeting with a researcher for about one hour on three occasions Completing questionnaires (for exampleabout your mood and energy level) Being randomly assigned to one of two groups. In oneyou would receive access to the exercise website for 12 weeks. In the otheryou would receive information about other cancer-related websites that you may find helpful. You would receive a small gift for attending the final meeting with the researcher To learn more about the study contact: Santina Horowitz: (401) 793-8124
