Title of Project: 20KK – AMPLIFI – From survey to data analysis
Project Description:
AMPLIFI is a large project to test different web-based programs to improve healthy eating and exercise in adults with an-obesity related cancer. Participants assessments include a survey questionnaire which includes various previously-developed valid instruments.
