Brief summary
This study aims to determine the if telephone support and print materials can increase physical activity participation in lung cancer survivors . Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, have no metastatic disease, and are no longer on treatment. Trial details. Participants in this trial will be randomly (by chance) allocated to one of two groups. One group will receive print-based materials and telephone follow-up designed to increase physical activity participation for 12-weeks. The other group will receive print-based materials and telephone follow-up for 12-weeks to ask about their general health and well being. After this time participants in this group will be given print-materials designed to increase physical activity levels. Participants will complete questionnaires about physical activity levels, fatigue and quality of life as well as wear a physical activity monitor at baseline,3 months and six months. It is thought that the intervention will increase physical activity participation when compared to the control.
