About this trial

The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of administering the Personalized Single-Category Implicit Association Test (PSC-IAT) to young adult survivors of childhood cancer.

Participants will perform a total of three trials of a cognitive task before and after their scheduled SJLIFE cardiovascular stress testing. Participants will then be asked to participate in a qualitative interview about the cognitive task tool and body sensations and emotions experienced during exercise.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants enrolled in St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE) aged 18-39 years at completion of on campus visit

Primary diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

No cranial radiation therapy (CRT) as part of treatment for ALL

Identify as physically inactive (do not meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week)

Disqualifiers

Individuals who cannot speak, read, and/or understand English.

Individuals with an estimated IQ of <70 and/or per PI discretion

Individuals with any contraindication to stress testing (i.e. cardiovascular complications)

Women who are currently pregnant

Trial population

The study population will include survivors from the SJLIFE cohort from the ALL diagnostic group (treated without cranial radiation therapy (CRT). This group was chosen because of the prevalence of ALL in childhood cancer diagnoses, and to attempt to prevent potential difficulties with the cognitive task due to cognitive impairment from CRT.
