The FLASHE Study takes a dyadic approach to examine psychosocial, generational (parent-adolescent), and environmental correlates of cancer preventive behaviors. FLASHE will examine the science of cancer and obesity prevention by examining correlates of cancer preventive behaviors, mainly diet, activity, and sedentary behaviors (but also examining other behaviors such as sleep, sun-safety, and tobacco) in new ways not previously addressed comprehensively on other surveys in samples of parents and their adolescent children. The survey's goal is to advance understanding of the dynamic relationship between the environment, psychosocial factors, and cancer preventive behaviors from a dyadic perspective. Data collected will ultimately be a public use dataset and resource to the research community. FLASHE will be collecting data from parents and their adolescent children using a web survey format with a final estimated sample size of 2,500 dyads, with motion sensing data collected in a subsample of 900 adolescents.
