Examines health behavior adherence in young adult cancer survivors, highlighting task self-efficacy's role.

The aim is to investigate health behavior adherence and the role of task self-efficacy among young adult cancer survivors and matched controls.
Participants included 335 young adult cancer survivors and 335 matched controls.
Demographic data, health behaviors, and task self-efficacy were assessed through measures.
Conditional logistic regression analyzed health behavior differences between groups.
Cancer survivors had lower rates of smoking avoidance compared to controls (OR = 0.70).
Survivors were more likely to meet fruit and vegetable intake (OR = 1.63) and exercise guidelines (OR = 1.85).
High task self-efficacy was linked to significantly higher odds of meeting healthy behavior recommendations.

Leitzelar et al. (2026) studied this question.
