Behaviorally Designed Gamification and Physical Activity Among Breast and Prostate Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Black and Hispanic cancer survivors exposed to cardiotoxic therapies are at higher risk for cardiovascular events than non-Hispanic White survivors, attributed to greater cardiovascular risk factors and lower physical activity.

Objectives

This study sought to determine the effect of a remotely delivered and behaviorally designed gamification intervention vs attention control on physical activity in Black and Hispanic cancer survivors with cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods

Between May 2022 and February 2025, Black and Hispanic breast and prostate cancer survivors who had received cardiotoxic cancer therapy and had ≥1 cardiovascular risk factor were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial with a 24-week intervention and 12-week postintervention period. Par
