RATIONALE: An internet-based health behavior program that provides information about physical activity, fitness, and nutrition may help participants become healthier and reduce the risk of developing cancer.

OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter study. Participants are stratified according to participating site, age (55 years and over vs under 55 years), gender, ethnic group, and aerobic capacity (≤ 6 metabolic equivalent tasks [METS] vs > 6 METS). Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.
In both arms, participants verify step-counts measured by a pedometer and complete the Block Food Frequency Questionnaire online at 10 and 18 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 participants (150 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
