- The AMPLIFY Survivor Health intervention is designed to support older cancer survivors in adopting healthier eating and exercise habits, promoting overall weight loss and better diet quality.
- The intervention was developed through collaboration among cancer survivors, web design experts, and a research team, incorporating input from various stakeholders and using a social cognitive theory framework.
- The structured program features a dedicated website with interactive sessions, progress tracking, resource tools, and social support options, while employing algorithms for personalized content delivery and goal recommendations.
Background: Scalable, multiple behavior change interventions are needed to address poor diet, inactivity, and excess adiposity among the rising number of cancer survivors. Efficacy-tested diet (RENEW) and exercise (BEAT Cancer) programs were adapted for web delivery among middle-aged and older cancer survivors for the AMPLIFI study, a National Cancer Institute-funded, multi-site, program project.
Methods: Throughout the continental U.
Background: With the increasing number of older cancer survivors, it is imperative to optimize the reach of interventions that promote healthy lifestyles. Web-based delivery holds promise for increasing the reach of such interventions with the rapid increase in internet use among older adults. However, few studies have explored the views of middle-aged and older cancer survivors on this approach and potential variations in these views by gender or rural and urban residence.

This shared insight could help shape the development of clinical and behavioral interventions for addressing treatment barriers and improving adherence.
Purpose: Despite their impact on adherence in glaucoma, sociobehavioral factors may not be adequately explored during clinical consultations.
