Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to implement and evaluate the feasibility of Project MOVE, a program aimed to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors through microgrants and financial incentives.


Clinical Trial Description

Despite the physical and psychological health benefits associated with physical activity for breast cancer survivors, up to 70% of female breast survivors are not meeting minimum recommended physical activity guidelines. The purpose of this research was to develop, implement and assess the feasibility of Project MOVE, an innovative approach to increase physical activity among breast cancer survivors through the use of Action Grants, a combination of microgrants (small amounts of money awarded to groups of individuals to support a physical activity initiative) and financial incentives. Twelve groups of 8-12 adult women who are breast cancer survivors (N=132) were recruited for the study via face-to-face meetings with breast cancer-related stakeholders, local print and radio media, social media, and pamphlets and posters at community organisations and medical clinics. Each group submitted a microgrant application outlining their proposed physical activity initiative. Successful applicants were determined by a grant review panel and informed of a financial incentive upon meeting their physical activity goals. Primary (program feasibility) and secondary (physical activity, quality of life, motivation to exercise and social connection) outcome measures were evaluated using a mixed-methods approach including focus groups, self-reported questionnaires, semi-structured telephone interviews and objective physical activity measures. Measures were collected at baseline, post-intervention (6 months) and 12-month follow-up. Findings from this study were used to asses the implementation and feasibility of Project MOVE as a strategy for increasing physical activity among breast cancer survivors. ;
