Background Cancer survivorship care plans ("care plans") often recommend an active lifestyle yet are rarely accompanied by programs to help patients enact the prescribed behavior change. As a step towards bridging this gap, this trial tested the feasibility of augmenting care planning with a multi-level physical activity intervention. Methods Breast and colorectal cancer survivors were enrolled alongside a self-selected support partner (e.g., spouse, friend). Survivors received a care plan alone (comparison group) versus one augmented with a 12-week physical activity module (intervention group). For the intervention group dyads, both members received a multi-component program including Fitbit trackers, with the survivor's Fitbit linked to his/her electronic health record (EHR). Treating clinicians received periodic updates regarding the survivors' physical activity. The primary outcome was ActiGraph-measured physical activity, analyzed using mixed models. Feedback questionnaires were administered to participants and clinicians at 12 weeks. Results Survivors (n = 50) were 54.4 +/- 11.2 years of age and 2.0 +/- 1.5 years post-diagnosis. Survivors in the intervention group increased moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) by 69 +/- 84 min/week vs. a 20 +/- 71 min/week decrease in the comparison group (p = .001). Likewise, daily steps increased by 1470 +/- 1881 vs. a 398 +/- 1751 decrease (P = .002). Among responding clinicians, 100% looked at survivors' activity data within the EHR at least once and 80% said it provided insight into their patients' lifestyles. Conclusions Augmenting a standard care plan with a multi-level, technology-based intervention increased physical activity among cancer survivors.
