Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Intervention feasibility, assessed by recording participant recruitment (% uptake) and compliance (% drop out) with the intervention materials across the study period. At T1 (6 weeks after the start of the intervention), the intervention group will be asked to complete a questionnaire which will include questions on how useful the intervention contents were, reasons for not complying with the intervention, if participants engaged with the intervention tools (the action plans, goal setting logs, and healthy habits tips) if they set goals, things that prevented them from setting goals and their overall satisfaction with the intervention.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Change in health behaviour (physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and sun safety) and well-being (HRQoL, sleep and fatigue). Data on health behaviour and well-being will be gathered using a health and lifestyle questionnaire containing valid measures of physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and sun safety. Measures of psychosocial health (general quality of life, fatigue and sleep quality) will also be included in the questionnaire booklet. Participants will be invited to complete the questionnaire at T0 (baseline), T1 (6 weeks) and T2 (12 weeks). Physical activity will also be assessed using accelerometers at each timepoint.	—
