Am I eligible?

Is it hard for you to eat healthy and exercise? You are not alone. If both you (as a cancer survivor) and your “buddy” (note: a buddy can be a spouse or other family member, friend, or a neighbor) are overweight and want to get to a healthier weight, you both may qualify to participate in DUET.

The DUET study is open to men and women who:

  1. Are residents of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, or North Carolina;
  2. Are age 18 and over;
  3. Live within a 15-minute drive of their “buddy”;
  4. Have been diagnosed with localized renal, or loco-regional ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, prostate, multiple myeloma, or breast cancer AND completed treatment; a qualified partner does not need to have been diagnosed with cancer.
  5. Are both overweight or obese;
  6. Are both eating less than 2.5 cups of fruits and vegetables a day;
  7. Are both exercising less than 150 minutes per week;
  8. Are both able to use a computer, iPad or Smart Phone and have access to the Internet; and
  9. Are not participating in any other diet and/or exercise program.
