Summary

This trial involves sending text messages with health information to cancer survivors and their caregivers every day for four weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had solid tumor cancer, finished treatment at least a month ago, and struggle with diet, exercise or sleep. They need a mobile phone and a caregiver to join the study. Those with severe mental or physical conditions that could affect participation are excluded.
What is being tested?
The 'Eat, Play, Sleep' program sends daily health behavior texts for four weeks to pairs of cancer survivors and their caregivers to improve dietary habits, physical activity levels, and sleep quality.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves text messages promoting healthy behaviors rather than medication or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects associated with typical clinical trials.
