Using Behavioral Economics to Achieve Improved Healthy Behavior Outcomes in Breast Cancer Survivors

The subjects in the control group will receive placebo text messages which will be timed as the intervention group that are unrelated to the study or topics of exercise and nutrition.

The subjects in the intervention group will receive text messages with nutrition and physical activity-related information throughout the study period on a daily basis, varying text message arrival over a 10 am to 7 pm time frame. The American Cancer Society recommends a set of exercise and nutrition behaviors for cancer survivors based upon developed expert evidence. These behaviors have been structured to achieve healthier lifestyles, improve quality of life and reduced mortality. The intervention will provide via text messaging exemplars and social norms designed to improve compliance with this advice.
