This analysis is exactly what I imagined doing when I applied to be a NCI T32 fellow (translating my EMA + PA experience to cancer populations to inform future interventions) and I am so happy to present my work at #ASPO2024, get feedback, and discuss future directions! @EHLabNU

.@smphillips19 presents how the MyActivity study integrated a MVPA intervention into cancer care via the electronic health record using a stepped care approach @EHLabNU #ASPO2024

The intervention increased MVPA by 35 min/week at 6-months 📈👟

A great night kicking off #ASPO2024 with posters from our EHL members @khasanaj_, @JStarikovsky and Jackie Alexander!

Because I am a behavioral scientist I knew setting a strong intention and making a plan would translate into behavior 😅 Thank you @EHLabNU for providing me social support! #SBM2024

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

Such a great presentation from @JeanReading !

WCRF/AICR @aicrtweets scores were calculated to determine if there were spillover effects of the Fit2Thrive physical activity intervention (there were on diet!!) @EHLabNU #SBM2024

Lunch with @EHLabNU 💜#SBM2024

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

Really important work by @EHLabNU PhD student @JStarikovsky on the preferences & interests of cancer survivors for muscle strengthening activity interventions. Knowing barriers and facilitators will only help us design better interventions to emphasize strength training! #SBM2024

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

Despite not showing statistically significant effects I think the trends are really promising and I hope this intervention is further refined and further tested! #SBM2024

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

Amazing presentation by @EHLabNU PhD student @SolkPayton at #SBM2024 on preliminary effects of Fit2ThriveMB (mHealth PA promotion intervention in metastatic breast cancer patients w/ daily tailored goal setting!) on patient-reported outcomes and functional performance @SBM_PASIG

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

Session wraps up with an emphasis by @smphillips19 that getting people to move more and sit less can be an useful and important public health target #SBM2024 @BehavioralMed

@EHLabNU

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

I would love to see you at my poster tonight (A148) so I can tell you about one of my dissertation studies! #SBM2024 🗣️📱😣

[Shirlene D Wang, PhD @ShirleneWang]

I am so happy to celebrate my first quarter with @EHLabNU!!
It has been an honor to learn from @smphillips19 and I am also so grateful for the peer mentorship from my fellow postdocs @khasanaj_ & @JeanReading and the graduate students @SolkPayton & @JStarikovsky
