Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief motivational interviewing

Children and parents will receive BMI and instant messaging delivered by a trained research nurse. At the time of recruitment, both children and parents will receive an education talk on the significance of and misconceptions about regular physical activity for cancer survivors and strategies for overcoming barriers to engaging in physical activity. Parents will then receive a face-to-face BMI to motivate their children to engage in regular physical activity. Parents will also be encouraged to motivate their children to intensify their physical activity levels progressively, with the ultimate goal of achieving the Global Recommendations on Physical Activity on Health suggested by the World Health Organization. Additionally, they will be invited to download a mobile health application from the Centre for Health Protection, Department of Health, HKSAR website that contains information on physical activity.

BEHAVIORAL

Placebo control

Children and parents will receive the education talk on physical activity and ask to download the mobile health application that contains information on physical activity at the time of recruitment similar to the intervention group. However, parents will not receive BMI and instant messaging throughout the study period.
