PACE CALL: A Tailored Weight Management Program for Childhood ALL Survivors
The PACE CALL or Fit4Life study, sponsored by the American Cancer Society , is a 4-year
research project aimed at developing and testing the efficacy of a web & cell phone based
weight loss program. The purpose of the intervention is to promote weight loss and
management and improve physical activity, diet and sedentary behaviors among preadolescent
and adolescent youth (7-18) who are survivors of childhood ALL (defined as being off therapy
for at least 2 years without disease relapse). Fit4Life will be based on and adapted from
notable prior successful adolescent weight control interventions, and physical activity and
diet behavioral promotion interventions in the preadolescent and adolescent age group.
Particular sensitivity to issues experienced by cancer survivors and their families will be
incorporated into this newly developed intervention based on systematic cancer survivor
input and feedback as well as mentor/collaborator input regarding cancer survivor research.
